Engin O Hilarious movie. Really enjoyable film Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Jelisije J An enjoyable comedy that deals with a family going through all the craziness that comes with managing a funeral......so many enjoyable twist and turns that left me wondering how other people funerals are done. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Jeff M Don't pay attention to the negative critical and audience scores for this movie on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb - this is one of the most enjoyable comedies I've watched in recent memory. I was shocked and delighted by how well I responded to this American remake of a 2007 British comedy, which incidentally also featured Dinklage. Frankly, it's not the sort of comedy to which I normally respond favorably - it's a bit broad and politically incorrect at times with a fair share of bathroom humor and gross-out sight gags thrown in for good measure. But in this case, everything worked beautifully. I can't remember a movie I've seen lately where the cast works so wonderfully well together, and almost each character is given at least a scene or two to shine. Everyone is going to have their own personal character and/or performance - my MVP has to be James Marsden who has never been funnier or more relaxed onscreen. That being said, there's not a false performance in the movie - this is ensemble comedy acting at its finest. Obviously, not everyone is going to respond as favorably as myself - I think it will be too over the top for some, and others may consider much of it in bad taste. But it hit my sweet spot, and I will forever be grateful to my friend and blog reader Steve Douglas for suggesting I watch this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Tulin B I loved this film . Easy to watch and hilarious . so mwah cliche, but very enjoyable Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review luca d A good product to pass the time, but nothing more. The cast is also of a more than decent level, but there is little depth of writing of the characters and the whole thing looks somewhat caricatured. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review Philip A I watched this on DVD, and I had high expectations given the comedic cast line up. Whilst I enjoyed some aspects of it, I found other parts slow and uninteresting. I also found the humour to fall flat at times, and on other occasions it felt forced and unnatural. I though the story needed more work, because too much time was spent at the house which became boring. I would have liked it to move on to a church, and then a cemetery, but it didn't. It wasn't the kind of funeral I had in mind, but it might be more familiar to a US audiance. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
