Some Reasons To Watch The Movie Death At A Funeral

By Phillip Wheeler

The movie Death at a Funeral was originally a British film that was released in 2007 and later an American film adaptation of the original which was released in 2010. There are some basic facts about the movie that will show you just exactly why it is a great choice for anyone who wants something to watch while they are sitting and relaxing.

The films both center around the same basic overall them which is that of two bothers who are burying their father. The two brothers have very different lives with one being very wealthy and successful and the other still living at home with their parents, even though he is married. Arguments ensue over the expense of the funeral and the wealthier brothers lack of obligation in helping with the expenses.

In the British version the brother who has less money has been saving to buy a flat and is quite upset that his other brother would rather have frivolous things like first class airfare then helping to bury their father.

Mixed into the plot line are some different tales that make this one movie where you can never be sure of what is going to happen next. For instance there are some accidental doses of hallucinogenic drugs when people mistake them for valium and even a dwarf who shows up claiming to be the deceased mans lover.

The two brothers try to avoid this and give him the drug that causes hallucinations as well since they think that it is really Valium. The dwarf goes crazy, jumping on a couch, falling and hitting his head on a coffee table. When they think that he is dead they put him in the casket with their dead father. This is one of the zany things that makes Death at a Funeral so funny.

The American version of Death at a Funeral is a bit different as the brother living with the father has children and is envious of the rich brother as they both are writers. Other than that the story line is about the same with the same dramas, highlights and comedy.

Both films are known to be hilarious and have popular actors from both countries starring in the roles. The British film stars Matthew Macfadyen and Rupert Graves and the American version stars Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock.

The movie, Death at a Funeral is sure to please even the most critical comedy lover and will for sure give you a laugh. It is one of those films where you will sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation as you never know what is going to happen next.

Death at a Funeral is a very popular and funny movie that was originally written and produced in England. There has since been an American rewrite on the popular movie that has gained just as much popularity in the United States. Many different types of people from many different walks of life can truly enjoy this film. So if you have a free night and can not figure out what to do, why no try watching this movie.
