Death at a Funeral

According to Wikipedia Death at a Funeral is a comedy. Actually, I did not look up what Wikipedia had to say about this film. I did, however, view this film.

The film is new to streaming on Netflix and apparently was released in theaters last year (2010). I’m not sure what compelled me to watch this film. I was doing homework and needed something in the background that wouldn’t be distracting.

Also, I am a fan of black comedies and films full of black actors. Death at a Funeral gives me both. Nothing really comical happens. I think Danny Glover diarrheas all over Tracy Morgan, and that’s just sad if anything. I think I heard Danny Glover say, “I’m getting to old for this shit.”

Maybe this film wanted to be funny or have a point, I don’t know. Perhaps this film’s purpose was to have no real point other than to black brothers finding out that their deceased father was in a relationship with a midget (Peter Dinklage looking for a paycheck).

In matter of fact, everyone was probably looking for a quick paycheck. And, what the hell else is Luke Wilson going to besides get fat. Chris Rock should have rocked this film, but pretty much all of his films have sucks.
