Death at a Funeral

Film Description

Written by Dean Craig and directed by comedic veteran Frank Oz, Death at a Funeral finds a well-to-do British family attempting to bury their patriarch amidst a backdrop of secrets, revelations, rivalries, and illicit pharmaceuticals. While the dutiful Daniel stoically contends with major roadblocks in planning his father's funeral, including being presented with the wrong body, others connected with the family have catastrophes of their own, including the anxious Simon, who is engaged to Martha, and mistakenly takes a hallucinogen to calm his nerves. Lurking in the background is a mysterious stranger who threatens to send the chaotic proceedings over the brink. A mix of high and low humour, this is a lively farce that makes the most of its hijinks-filled script.
