I laughed all the way through, in fact. This is the best comedy since "The Hangover," and although it's almost a scene-by-scene remake of a 2007 British movie with the same title, it's funnier than the original.

Slight but agreeable picture.

The new Funeral, directed by social commentator-director Neil LaBute ("Lakeview Terrace") doesn’t improve on the original, which wasn’t exactly a classic despite its classic structure.

Rock's interventions can't compensate for excessive fealty to dumb gags involving watery poop and designer hallucinogens.

Still, if for the most part Death at a Funeral is as tame as the tasteful parlor where most of its action takes place, it manages to explode one taboo, in casting mostly black actors in roles originally played by whites.

Offers very little new for those who saw the original.

You can get away with almost anything in a farce except failing to be funny, and that's what kills Death at a Funeral.
