DEATH AT A FUNERAL follows the comic twists and turns of a
dysfunctional British family as they gather to mourn the passing of
their patriarch. It’s the day of his father’s
funeral and Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) wants everything to go according
to plan. Unfortunately, his brother is only interested in chatting up a
pretty girl at the service, his cousin’s straight-laced
boyfriend is convinced that someone is alive in the coffin and a rogue
bottle of hallucinogenic pills keeps popping up. If that
isn’t enough, a mystery visitor (Peter Dinklage) from his
father’s past threatens to expose the patriarch's secret,
unless he is paid a princely sum. Frank Oz, the director of
Bowfinger, In & Out, and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, brings us a
riotous tale of one man’s struggle to maintain his dignity
while swimming in a sea of calamity.
US theatrical release on 17th August 2007, distributed by
