Death at a Funeral

A very, very enjoyable movie.

A wonderfully silly, humorous and simply enjoyable black comedy. There is certainly a fair amount of chaos at the beginning, but it certainly gets even more chaotic and zany once before the main chaotic theme, the revealing of a dark secret regarding the recently deceased, is revealed. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, a few, "Oh No!" and "Ewwww..." moments: but great fun.

I recalled, after several minutes of deep thinking!, two of the main actors, Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes, from the wonderful BBC drama Spooks: good to see them in film.

There were a few instances of the "F" word at the beginning [not sure if I became de-sensitised, as I don't recall many later]: that annoyed me, as I tend to think that word is rather overused at times [the main reason why I really didn't like Four Weddings and a Funeral -- the constant F-ing got to me].
