PLOT:
On the morning of their father''''s funeral, the family and friends of the deceased each arrive with his or her own roiling anxieties. The son, Daniel, knows he will have to face his flirty, blow-hard, famous-novelist brother Robert, who''''s just flown in from New York--not to mention the promises of a new life he''''s made to his wife Jane. Meanwhile, Daniel''''s cousin Martha and her dependable new fiancé Simon are desperate to make a good impression on Martha''''s uptight father--a plan that literally goes out the window when Simon accidentally ingests a designer drug en route to the service, leaving him prone to uncontrollable bouts of delirium and nudity in front of his potential in-laws. Then comes the real shocker: a mysterious guest who threatens to unveil an earth-shattering family secret. As comedic mayhem and unfortunate mishaps ensue on every front, it is now up to the two brothers to hide the truth from their family and friends, and figure out how to not only bury their dearly beloved, but also the secret he''''s been keeping.
REVIEWS:
"The tension in Death at a Funeral is between good manners and good comedy, something [director] Oz exploits throughout. Humor has a decided British accent, given that it''''s all about making genteel people cringe."
-- Variety, John Anderson
"Like Altman''''s Gosford Park, Oz''''s film is an organism comprising intersecting oddballs..."
-- Newsday, John Anderson
"Death at a Funeral is flawed, but I''''m willing to forgive a lot of flaws when a movie makes me laugh as much as this one."
-- ReelViews, James Berardinelli
"Death at a Funeral may be the funniest movie ever set in such a deadly serious setting."
-- USA Today, Claudia Puig
"Insanely funny, if occasionally out-of-control, black farce."
-- TIME Magazine, Richard Schickel
