Death at a Funeral

The result is as uneven as the original, albeit in different places:the drug stuff is hilarious; the toilet humour just yucky.

It's not a great movie, but far exceeds expectation and remains very true to the original film but with a clever African-American slant (which may actually make it even funnier).

The crackerjack ensemble of actors milks each moment like old vaudeville pros.

The British film wasn't much better. But, beleive me, it was easier to watch than this loud mess.

Depends very heavily on the worryingly unfunny idea of accidentally consuming hallucinogenic drugs, though I have to admit there are a few crassly funny moments...

The farce of Death at a Funeral owes half of its success to Dean Craig's simple but infallible script and the other half to the efforts of its cast. [Full review in Spanish]

The only realistic thing here is the funeral because this cadaver arrived at the multiplex already in an advanced state of rigor mortis on the edge of putrefaction. [Full review in Spanish]

Most likely to satisfy those unfamiliar with the vastly superior 2006 original and/or those who simply embrace all things Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence.

It remains a mystery to me how a street-smart, wise-cracking comic of Chris Rock's pedigree failed to see the laughter limitations of this remake of Frank Oz's British film, which was equally uninspiring.
