      Audience Member Loved this movie, it was sweet, funny, and clever. American audiences need to give it another chance! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Frances H I loved this quirky comedy romance with a terrific cast, especially Christopher Walden as the "fun" funeral director! Just a charming chuckle filled film! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/17 Full Review Audience Member A fun movie about love and mortuary business. Laugh out loud funny. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member It takes a while for it to get going, but why critics didn't like it, is beyond me. It really starts up about half way through. Classic cult comedy!! Walken, Molina & Blethyn shine. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A clunky but lighthearted spoof - good for an evening when you want to lighten up a little. It's a bit macabre, though, so be prepared for funeral jokes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of my favorite movies.. Brenda Blethyn and Alfred Molina shine as the childhood sweethearts in this typical British bedroom farce. Christopher Walken is a riot as an over the top funeral director. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel The comedy is kind of forced but eccentric in a lot of the right (British) ways. Rated: 3/4 Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com The flick feels like Six Feet Under meets Waking Ned Devine written on a 5th-grade reading level. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 29, 2006 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a charming, low-key romantic comedy... Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2006 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures one of the warmest, sweetest dark comedies I've seen Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 11, 2006 Full Review Scott Foundas L.A. Weekly It's rarely a good sign when a movie feels obliged to add the words 'a fable' beneath its main title -- and Undertaking Betty is no exception. Nov 10, 2005 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net It all feels rather by the numbers. Jul 29, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
