This horrible excuse for a remake is quite possibly the worst remake I've ever seen. I'd rather watch the Keanu Reeves remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still a hundred times in a row than watch these inept actors struggle to replicate the exceptional performance of the original cast. Chris Rock, Luke Wilson, shame on you. Even the little person who was in the original didn't perform as well as he did the first time. You'd think that he would be better, having done it before. AVOID THIS.

A weak facsimile of the original film. It has nothing to add other than a pandering racial element.

I like to imagine this is actually a sequel and not a remake. The midget is just globe trotting, fucking old men, and failing at blackmail. Forever.

I... I don't know why I watched this. I skimmed past it on Netflix Watch Instantly and some inexplicable psychosis overtook me. It was like an out-of-body experience. Even as I clicked on it I was like "wait, what the hell are you doing?!", then I proceeded to watch all 92 minutes of mediocrity. That said, I must wed Zoe Saldana.

Hollywood will really remake a 3-year old British movie like it was in a different language. Charming cast but at times it feels like there are more familiar faces than there are laughs.

A nearly scene-by-scene American remake of the 2007 British comedy does a good job translating the original's absurd, screwball high-jinx for an American audience--though that doesn't translate into funny.

The American remake, a scant three years after the British version, is tantamount to a summer-stock production in Cleveland, a black comedy made over into a black comedy, or more distinctly a dark comedy made over into an African-American comedy. Who could ever have foreseen that LaBute, the contemporary cinema's iciest misanthrope, would stoop to poop jokes to bring down the house? Among the few white faces in the crowd, dinky Dinklage reprises with total authority his role from the original

My projector only has a bulb rated for 4000 hours and it really wasn't worth spending 2 of them. Also to remake a film you must improve something. P.S. My projector cost way less than your flat-screen, even if it's tiny.

This movie is close to the original, there are a few scenes that are different. This movie is funny with a number of amusing characters. Tracy Morgan and James Marsden really stand out in this film. If you like the original than you should also enjoy this comedy.

Haven't laughed this hard at a movie in ages. I plan to check out the British original too. I really liked the ensemble cast, but I have to admit that James Marsden was absolutely hilarious.

+ good: funny throughout, all the characters roles were balanced and funny in their own unique way, no one person stole the show, well paced, actors were natural (wasn't forced except Tracy), didn't push the race thing; - bad: Tracy Morgan, I can't stand him, he tries too hard and isn't funny (but fortunately there were so many other good players he didn't totally detract from the film; final speech was transitioned poorly

Comedy about a dysfunctional family that gathers for the funeral of the family patriarch which turns into a full-scale fiasco. Potty mouths, potty jokes, and dotty performances are the chief selling points... alternately sidesplitting and poop-splattered... Verdict? Mixed. Loved the slapstick, winced at the toilet humor, and mourned that the female performers were given so little to do.

Even if I've never found Rock, Lawrence, or Morgan to be all that hilarious, the movie should be about the farce, and the chaos of events that take place. But I never found myself included in the mayhem. I observed one-note characters and a handful of big-name actors going through the paces of tired situational comedy, and I didn't buy any of it. Not one plot turn or gag had enough shock, surprise, or wit to fuel my interest, and so this remake left me feeling decidedly blah to the core.

Not a lot of zing and really missing, you know, fun (that I suppose should be there, even in a black comedy). Pretty flat, though James Marsden is wonderfully game.

"The comic possibilities of a character mistakenly ingesting a tab of acid and then acting predictably loony at the most inopportune moment are surely limitless, or at least it must have seemed so to the makers of Death of a Funeral." - Andrew Schenker

Some really funny moments ... but surrounded by pretty typical farce ... which dilutes the humour. What makes you laugh in the first 30 minutes is repeated throughout, and, unfortunately, it just doesnt make you laugh after 90 minutes Zoe Soldana is worth investing the 90 minutes for, though !

Despite a few more laffs than the British original, the cast seems to be operating on auto-pilot--the sort of regular clownishness that lets director Neil LaBute make his standard implication that nothing in (black) American life is to be taken seriously.

This film is a shameful knock off of the original. First off this is a British film they converted to an African American film without changing any of the dialog! That doesn't work! Watch the original 2007 edition!

Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan compete for being the least funny guy in this weak comedy. The only person able to squeeze half a laugh out of me was James Marsden, but this movie is tragically unfunny.

Luke Wilson: Shame on you for taking this part. Producers: Shame on you for casting many of the actors in this, Martin Lawrence in particular. That man must not work. James Marsden: You did alright but... why? Which is exactly the question you should be asking yourself if you find yourself inexplicably tempted to put this on.

It receives a lot of hate but I'm not sure why. The original is better, and this film doesn't really improve upon it in any way (just makes slight changes that relate more to black America than white UK). I thought Lawrence and Wilson were bad fits for their characters. Tracy Morgan started fine and eventually went more and more into his normal shtick. Besides that the rest of the cast was great and I laughed throughout. Overall, I found it to be a pleasant surprise and worth a watch.

Marginally funnier than the British version, the film still suffers from a certain laboriousness in the execution of many of the comic set pieces. Also seems a strange film for LaBute to remake so slavishly; aside from the race switch, it plays out identically to the British film. As before, devious Dinklage is the highlight, as well as the toilet scene with the senile uncle, though Glover is not as effective as Vaughn in the original film. Watchable, but a bit of a what-were-they-thinking.

If nothing else this movie shows that Martin Lawrence, believe it or not, can still be something other than completely horrible in a comedy. C+ performance, kudos to you Martin.

God, what a lazy movie. Every joke you can see coming a mile away, and I laughed maybe 3 times (all because of Dinklage, for what it's worth). Luke Wilson has got to stop being in these lame movies.

Chris Rock was alright. But Luke Wilson kind of sucked. Regina Hall was hot, and James Marsden was funny all stoned on acid. Martin Lawrence was his usual dumb self. The plot was poor and the script equally poor. A few funny scenes, but mostly a lot of stupid not so funny stuff.

American remakes of British films are often unnecessary, but in some cases they at least attempt to add a unique flair that makes it worth seeing... This is not one of those movies. It's a scene-by-scene reproduction of a movie that came out only three years before it; the only change being that we now have a mixed ethnic group speaking dumbed-down dialogue for an American audience. The weirdest part may be Peter Dinklage playing the exact same role as in the original. Very lazy filmmaking.

What starts out as a promising comedy of manners quickly turns into a series of increasingly predictable zany situations. A good cast, squandered by poor material. The situations are what creates humor here - there's not that many good lines to support it along the way. Awkwardly jumps between cute family comedy, gross-out moments, and dark humor so much that it's a wonder the tone is kept consistent throughout - with boring cinematography and extreme overuse of musical cues. Boring.

A lot of the original jokes are there, so it is watchable, and Peter Dinklage reprises his role well. But a lot of the wit and i telligence and subtlety is lost in this American remake of a really funny British Dark Comedy

While able to capture portions of the original British film it still fell short in parts. The pacing is improved over the original, the first half of the movie soars by and its good - the second half doesn't hold up however. Pacing and comedy are there but the impact of the jokes are missing. The scene with the old man talking about his former love from both movies serves as a perfect example of the movies differences.

This is not a terrible film. If people had not seen the original, they would've liked this at least a little bit. People are just punishing this film because it attempts to recreate a very recent and very British film.

It builds up to one joke ... and although I saw the build up, the actually scene still brought tears to my eyes from laughing. *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Just something funny about seeing Peter Dinklage high on acid jumping out a coffin in the midst of funeral. But other than that ... meh

It's mildly amusing, it's not offensively bad. There's some jokes that don't land for me but, I don't feel very strongly about it one way or another. But if it was on I wouldn't necessarily turn it off, it's very average.
