46. Death At a Funeral (2007)- Frank Oz

Death at a Funeral Trailer


Oh British comedy...you never fail to amuse me. This movie was very stereotypical of British humor: raunchy, belly laugh funny, gross at times, and often times just straight up wrong. This was a very smart comedy about a highly dysfunctional family, and their inability to keep secrets. I laughed out loud this entire movie. Each scene had a different twist that was even better than the previous one. From the accidental ingestion of hallucinogenic drugs, to crazy sibling rivalry over a eulogy, to the murder of a stranger at the funeral, to the inappropriate nudity, I felt more and more uncomfortable (in a good way) about the fact that these events were all taking place at the funeral of the patriarch of this absurd family. This movie was so funny that it sparked a Hollywood remake just two years later, but don't watch it, it completely pales in comparison to the hilarious original!
