Funeral Party

I wasn't quite sure what to expect out of this, even though I had enjoyed the trailer in the theater. There had been some comments about cruel humor, which I just didn't see. The story was well structured, with groundwork laid early on for very funny bits much later in the film that got us laughing hard without hitting us over the head with the joke. The moments of comic tension were good, without that excruciating sense that someone was going to be horribly embarrassed, or hurt, or whatever, that American films seem to have. The situation is very well known to everyone who's been to a family funeral, although in America we would have the service in a funeral home or church, and we've all had moments when we want to laugh at the wrong time, or notice something a little out of the ordinary in the service that seems to cry out for comment. My husband, 14 year old daughter and I enjoyed the film immensely, and we all gave it an 8 out of 10, with some good carryover lines to quote amongst ourselves. Go see it, enjoy, and leave the political correctness at home.

Don't watch the American remake. This is the version to watch, absolutely hilarious. No spoilers- just watch it and treat yourself to some laughs. 8/10.

I found this to be the funniest movie that I've seen in ages. We saw it today (July 12th) in Herzliya, Israel at the local movie theater at the mall.

There were only 8 people in the whole audience, and my husband and I filled the room with howls of laughter.

The actors are fabulous, especially Alan Tudyk, Khris Marshall, Andy Nyman, Peter Dinklage, and Daisy Donovan. Actually, the whole ensemble was great.

Especially Alan Tudyk keeps his frenetic performance absolutely hysterically funny, throughout most of the film!

Free of Hollywood hype, this film was a pleasure.

The wackiest Funeral you'll ever witness.

This is the funniest film I've ever seen. Dark comedy and so dry. I've literally watched the film over 50 times.I cry from laughter every time I watch it and i love every single one of the characters. They all bring their own eccentric quirks. I highly reccomend it.

Basically, this movie is just a bunch of people, from the same family, who get together for the funeral of the patriarch of the family. But one of those people has a secret regarding this man.

Now, the thing that I wanted to see in this movie was funny situations and the characters dealing with them in funny ways. An that's what I saw. The movie is well written, well directed, although i would have liked to see longer shots like moving into a different scene without cutting.' The acting is good too. Some of the character are pretty forgettable but there are some that I will never forget.

Like Peter Dinklage's character. I mean the dude was funny as sh*t. Rupert Graves is good in the movie, you know Lestrade from BBC's Sherlock. He kinda reminded me of Barney Stinson. There's another dude, played by Kris Marshall and he's like a drug dealer, dude was good. And Wash from Firefly he's in this movie, most of the movie he's on drugs, but he plays it good.

To wrap up the movie funny and good. That is all I have to say
