Critics Consensus

Death At A Funeral is a rousing British farce, with enough slapstick silliness to overcome its faults.

Cliff Doerksen Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Alonso Duralde AfterElton.com Despite a final half hour that's full of laughs, Death takes so long getting its farce gears moving that the audience becomes comatose with anticipation of mirth that is too late in coming. Feb 12, 2010 Full Review Mark Bourne Film.com It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again. Mar 4, 2008 Full Review Matt Neal ABC Radio (Australia) A wonderful ensemble comedy that doesn't get the dues it deserves. Rated: 4/5 Sep 24, 2021 Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus Tudyk's comedic timing and drugged impersonations could have made the whole film, but Death at a Funeral offers a lot more laughs than just acid trips. Apr 10, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Death At A Funeral is a perversely absurd, funny, quirky, HILARIOUS comedy. Death can be funnier than life.

Chris M One of my favorite British comedies ever made. The cast is fantastic, led by Matthew MacFadyen and Peter Dinklage is a treat. A great farce! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Uynga U what a wonderful movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Munkhjargal A The film is about the relationship between family members and misunderstandings will arise between them. Looking at all of this, the director shows that it can be done from this point of view. Although he is more involved in his father's affairs, he is facing many problems. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Bahad j It was a really good movie. Very instructive. I really liked it. I will watch it again later.Also, I really like the small details of the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review nick s Competent enough production. Very British vibe to the acting. Its storytelling style and humour was lost on me to be honest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Aender S A nice British comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
