Death at a Funeral2007 - Rated R - 1 hr 30 min
Director: Frank Oz
Starring: Matthew Macfadyen, Peter Dinklage, Ewen Bremner, Alan Tudyk
Oh, I love this movie. Another Brit comedy, this original version (recently remade with Tracy Morgan and Chris Rock) is both witty and poignant, and filled with perfectly timed and appropriately awkward comedic moments.
Alan Tudyk accidentally high on drugs, naked on a rooftop? Priceless. A sexually promiscuous, gay dwarf with a naughty secret, tied up in the corner of a study? Awesome. And an unexpected viewing of the corpse (several times)? Totally necessary.
Just watch this one and enjoy. It's a celebration of life, death, the stuff in between, and dysfunctional families all rolled into one.
Much better than the remake.
