(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1   "For farce to work well, the plotting needs to be watertight, whereas here the sheer excess of characters fails entirely to cover up this film's flimsy underpinnings."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel B "I'm just thrilled Oz is recharging his directorial mojo, making a funny movie that contains some actual funny"   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf B+ "Director Frank Oz nearly redeems himself after his disastrous "Stepford Wives" remake, with a British black comedy that goes over the top backwards."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey C+ "Feels strained."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz B- "The movie is not always laugh-out-loud funny, but at least it never becomes tiresome or aggravating -- and that's more than a lot of comedies can say."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "An attempt at dark comedy that comes off more dark than comic...strained and effortful rather than blithely lighthearted."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A rousing British farce filled with many antic moments and huge embarrassments."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Death at a Funeral is flawed, but I'm willing to forgive a lot of flaws when a movie makes me laugh as much as this one."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 7/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 4.5/5 "A slow burn that snowballs into a rip-roaring and veddy British climax. Very enjoyable! Please read review."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/5 "Oz goes back to the well and taps into British humor, which has been so influential over the years for him, going back to The Muppet Show" in the 70s"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C "...this is the type of film where the deceased spills out of his coffin, people are splattered with feces and if one person can accidentally take a hallucinogen, three are funnier."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1/3 "El humor no compensa la ambientación funeraria."   Off-Off-Critica   MalaBesta 3/4 "A fine example of how much tone and execution affect low humor."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen... [It's] practically Shakespearean in its exquisite foolishness and comedic intrigue..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "A strained farce in which lots of one-dimensional Brits converge at the memorial service for their family's patriarch and proceed to act like buffoons."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "In the end, the all-out pandemonium wins us over, but only just."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "This is a comedy that favors mania over wit and requires a high tolerance for sh*&$. It didn't evoke more than the occasional smile from this viewer."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "Once it gets some speed behind it, the thing just barrels forward with reckless abandon, tossing out gags that work at an impressively effective rate."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 7/10 "Silly, screwball comedy - for those who enjoy droll British humor."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
