LOVEFiLM Review Death at a Funeral

  • 2 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    This remake comes hot on the heels of the 2007 British version, with a very American makeover courtesy of Chris Rock and co.

  • Death for the remake

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Fiona D from Scotland , 06 Jun 2010

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Please please please rent the original British version of this film. This version loses all the quirky eccentricities of the British that made the original such a good film. The slapstick over-the-top nature of this American remake spoils it all and makes it a film mainly about toilet humour.

    Oh and it has Chris Rock pretty much playing himself for the 100th time.

  • Wouldnt waste my time

    Switched off after about 25 minutes. Not worth giving it anymore time than that. Should have been good given the cast.

  • Not as funny as I remember

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    I saw this when it came out at the cinema. I thought it was hilarious and it was on my wish list for a long time. It was good, granted, but just not as good as I remember. Worth a watch, anyhow.

  • Boring film

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer , 23 Feb 2013
    This is very disappointing considering the people in it. I found it very silly and boring. It is not worth watching, sorry.

    Funny funny film. So entertaining. I have not laughed out loud in ages. Well worth watching for some silly humor of the stupid kind.

  • They tried but failed

    Rated - 2.5 stars  
    By a customer , 22 Jan 2013
    This version is to be honest very disappointing, they tried to up the British version, but they failed. The acting was poor in comparison with all the jokes being told too quick without effort instead they simply chucked in loads of famous faces and unfunny additions. You have to watch the original to see how the story is successfully told.
