DEATH AT A FUNERAL (3.5 STARS)

A British farse directed by Frank Oz who is famous for directing the muppet movies. This is a really short and funny movie. It features the most obvious comical elements (midgets, poop, drugs, homosexuality, mean old man in wheelchair) all the while being original about it. Being set in a funeral adds a hilarious "none of this should be happening right now" feel, that I found funny the entire time.

However I can see why critics would not care about this movie. You could see it in a different light. It does have a clique predictability to it. And at times the shots look terrible to do a pointless CGI background.
