Be ready for a very nerve racking, strange, somewhat unbelieveable and predictable chain of events that keep building to a frenzy that some might... d irritating. It's a no brainer that entertains with a few disgusting belly laughs; has foul language that doesn't add to the movie; some very poor directing spots and acting that should have required several more takes, ******** not terrible. I felt better seeing it at a matinee price. Martin Lawrence plays himself, an arrogant, self-centered character, and the widow, although likeable, did not discover her character and maintain it...she's much better as the wife of the former chief on Grey's Anatomy. I kind of expected more of Chris Rock...his character was very controlled and angry, the part could have been much more; again, I would tend to blame the director. The house they used for the film is gorgeous! Full Review

I laughed all the way through, in fact. This is the best comedy since "The Hangover," and although it's almost a scene-by-scene remake of a 2007 British movie with the same title, it's funnier than the original.Full Review

Reveling in mess and homegrown multiracial mayhem, Death at a Funeral finds a new lease on life.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Death at a Funeral does what a good comedy is supposed to do: generate laughter. The humor gradient is lopsided - the second half, which builds comedic momentum, is significantly funnier than the first half, which is mostly set-up. Still, any such unevenness aside, the overall impression is one of enjoyability.Full Review

The new version is completely unnecessary and sloppier than it should be. It's also still funny, partly thanks to smart casting in a few key roles and partly because farce this ironclad cannot be denied.Full Review

Still, if for the most part Death at a Funeral is as tame as the tasteful parlor where most of its action takes place, it manages to explode one taboo, in casting mostly black actors in roles originally played by whites.Full Review
