Parent reviews for Death at a Funeral

I saw this year's ago when it first came out, so happy to watch it again. Great cast and acting! This is an awesome film, very, very funny! All these old time actors, in such a great film. I laughed so hard, I cried. Definitely recommend for adults to watch! Hilarious!

An utterly excellent comedy that is my contender for third-best comdey ever, under 1st place:Bruno, and second:Borat. Don't watch the american one though. American humour has never been more idiotic.

I loved this movie!!!! It had a great plot and a laughed sooooo hard! Its not innapropriate except that there are so many f-bombs i couldnt count!

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.

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.

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!

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!
