Death at a Funeral

Quote:
Death at a Funeral is a 2010 American black comedy, and a adaptation of the 2007 British film of the same name. The less than three-year gap between the original and this film makes this one of the fastest remakes of an English language film in modern Hollywood history. Unlike the 2007 film, this features a largely African-American ensemble cast, with Peter Dinklage reprising his role from the original. Just like the British film, the film is rated R in the U.S. for strong language, graphic nudity, and drug use.

At times, hilarious.

It's mostly a solid comedy overall. James Marsden and Tracy Morgan were terrific in this, while Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and others were whatever.

More clever than it is downright hilarious, but I can't give it much credit for being clever when the original just came out two years ago. Without Tracy Morgan, there's not much to see here.

Now without having seen the original piece from a couple of years ago, 2010's Death at a Funeral is a good film that really goes along with an oddball story and some notable performances. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence do a strong job leading the entire group and have their moments and the other stories including ones involving Zoe Saldana, James Marsden, Danny Glover, and Tracy Morgan all work and have some funny moments. The problem though is that there really is no laugh out loud moment, just a lot of chuckles so it doesn't rank as one of the better comedies of the year. **1/2
