What Parents Need to Know
About Death at a Funeral
Parents need to know that although this British farce is a comedy, its adult themes -- mortality, mourning, in-law stress -- probably won't appeal to kids and younger teens. Which isn't to say that the grown-up characters act much like adults. In fact, they behave at their very worst (which makes for funny setups, but hardly stellar examples for impressionable young viewers). Sibling rivalry, sexual secrets, drug use, and more are all in the mix, and there's also plenty of profanity ("f--k," "s--t," "wanker") and a couple of shots of a bare butt (in a nonsexual way).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what happens when relatives gather for rituals -- anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, or, in this case, funerals. Why do they seem to bring out the worst in people (though everyone's supposed to be on their best behavior)? Is the atmosphere at these events really that pressured? Or does mayhem like this really only happen in the movies? What are funerals really for? How are they usually depicted in movies? How is this different?

Funniest and the best!
The funniest and best movie I ever saw- please watch if U are over 15. Extreme F-bombs, some sex related.

Refreshing dose of British humor
This movie is definately one of the funniest movies I have seen. I recommend it to anyone over 13. There is some cursing but nothing a teenager hasn't heard before and comic nudity and drug use (nothing too bad).

I don't think I've ever laughed this hard
I only bought this because I had a coupon for $5 off it, but it is easily one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It isn't too terribly bad, as far as current movies go. There is swearing, but it isn't constant, some sexual dialogue, but nothing explicit, and almost all the characters like Valium, one of them takes hard drugs thinking it's valium. This movie is incredibly funny, so watch it-- it's good for a laugh.

Loved It!
My husband and I are very partial to English films, so there was nothing in this movie that surprised either of us. Plus, we'd seen previews, so we knew what we were getting ourselves into. We thought it was a funny movie--not for kids, but good. It was just long enough--sometimes a movie just needs to get in and out--not linger for 2+ hours! Older teens would be fine with this movie!

Humor at what cost?
Nothing in your review prepared us for this film. We anticipated a relaxing comedy,however found this film to be a distasteful waste of our time. The characters were an unpleasant mix of misfits, none of which had any redeeming qualities worth watching. The bathroom humor was discusting and over the top. Be prepared for repeated foul language, and homosexual content.

Great comedy. Not for young kids.
I saw this film and loved it. There was a group of teenagers in the theatre who found the first half to be boring, but were loving the second half when it got to be a chaotic riot. Of course, I would never take young kids to this film, not because of the theme, but because they'd be bored. This type of humor goes over their heads anyway.

Non-stop filth & blasphemy
Actually, we didn't sit through the whole movie, but left about 30 minutes into it, receiving a refund. Nothing in the reviews had prepared us for the constant barrage of filthy language. In addition to all of the usual obscenities, characters also used that blasphemous profanity that has begun to appear in more R-rated movies recently-- Jesus' name interspersed with the f-word. Very, very offensive to Christians!!! I think there should be some special warning about this level and type of profanity, not just the generic comment, "Language." Moreover, there was nothing truly funny to redeem the film . . . at least in the first 30 minutes. It was just offensive and even tedious.

Hilarious and Heartwarming
My husband and I initially saw this movie together and we both laughed and cried. We have a 14-year-old daughter who I felt would also enjoy the movie. She loved it too. Yes, the language is offensive. However, we don't speak like that at home. The drug use was not an issue. I did not feel it was glorified in any way. Our child was never exposed to TV or movies until the age of 8. She is well educated and knows the pitfalls of drug and alcohol abuse. The movie itself had wonderful character development. In the end, the characters could be your next door neighbors. I'd rather my child see a movie like this -- where people seem human with all their foibles -- than a movie that glorifies violence, drugs, sex, beautiful bodies, and the other negative media influences we see way too much of today. Go see it!
