It's quite possible that I really wanted this movie to be funnier than it was supposed to be. Therein may lie my disappointment. But I doubt it. I am... a fan of British comedy going back to the days of Benny Hill and Monty Python. That being said, this movie, unlike it's aforementioned predecessors, was scarce on laughs. Timing, delivery, and character's responses to the various situations all seemed to be very off in this movie, leaving me with the feeling that the writers and directors of this film were on a very tight deadline. It seems as though it was written more for a play than a big screen movie. A play would probably have been more enjoyable. Although I didn't walk out of the theater on this one, had I rented it, I most assuredly would have brought the DVD back to the store for an exchange. Full Review

"Death at a Funeral" was hilarious from beginning to end. My stomach was beginning to hurt from laughing aloud. The entire audience was in stiches.... Yea! for the British. They did a magnificent job making a farce of a family funeral! Full Review

The humor manages to be simultaneously sophisticated, supremely silly and very dark.Full Review

The lack of propriety and solemnity is precisely what makes this comic farce so uproariously funny.Full Review

The movie is part farce (unplanned entrances and exits), part slapstick (misbehavior of corpses) and part just plain wacky eccentricity. I think the ideal way to see it would be to gather your most dour and disapproving relatives and treat them to a night at the cinema.Full Review

Though it grows silly and sentimental, Funeral scores enough big laughs to make its shortcomings eminently forgivable.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
The film's climax is nothing short of hilarious. And Death at a Funeral doesn't discriminate when it comes to the type of humor it embraces it. Everything is in there, from physical hijinks to verbal repartee to naked man jokes to drugs and gross-out stuff.Full Review
