DEATH AT A FUNERAL

Plot:

In this remake of the 2007 independent film of the same title, Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence play brothers Aaron and Ryan, who must put aside their differences so that they can tend to affairs regarding their father’s funeral. Older brother Aaron has the bulk of the responsibilities, juggling everything trying to run things smooth while the younger Ryan a famous publisher is trying to get laid. When the remaining family shows up along with a mysterious guest, let’s just say things get very crazy during the ceremony.



Reel Talk:

Although the original movie was funny this one with a beefed up all star cast is on another laugh meter. From beginning to end you are bombarded by humor. The cast is well balanced with everyone contributing to the fun with some scene stealers throughout the movie, Tracy Morgan and James Marsden to name a few. Peter Dinklage who starred in the original film version reintroduces his character in this one. A hilarious funny must see movie.

Starring: Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Regina Hall, Tracy Morgan, Danny Glover, Loretta Devine, James Marsden, Zoe Saldana, Luke Wilson and Peter Dinklage
Directed by: Meil Labute
