Theatrical report

Death at a funeral is like Four weddings and a funeral but without the weddings. It has an ensemble cast featuring the latest "Brit Pack", it has a good poke at modern life, it has black humour, it has delightfully farcical humour, it is unchallenging yet stimulating, it has an ineffectual Englishman. And it has a corpse. What more can you ask for? This is a hilarious film to which you can take your mother and your grandmother.

It even has some climbing white wisteria. Gorgeous!

The black comedy, UK movie Death at a funeral is directed by Frank Oz and stars Matthew Macfayden, Rupert Graves, Alan Tudyk.
