Product Description Product DescriptionA funeral ceremony turns into a debacle of exposed family secrets and misplaced bodies. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 08/10/2010 Starring: Keith David Run time: 92 minutes Rating: R Director: Neil LabriteLess than three years after the 2007 Brit-com Death at a Funeral hit theaters, this remake offered a nearly scene-for-scene variation on the original. Once again a family has gathered for the dignified memorial service for a patriarch: older son has prepared a eulogy; younger son has flown in on his celebrity as a bestselling author; favorite niece has brought her fianc? , unaware that he has accidentally ingested a hallucinogen manufactured by her pharmaceutically minded brother . You know, the usual fare for a funeral. The wild card is a stranger who has something urgent to impart to the two sons. There's nothing terribly elevated about the slapstick, and one particular scatological sequence tests the boundaries of the bearable . The unexpected director is Neil LaBute, who shows off his sense of comic timing and keeps the whole apparatus moving along briskly. In addition to the relatively subdued lead turns by Rock and Lawrence, the big cast includes Danny Glover, Regina Hall, Luke Wilson, and Loretta Devine. It is almost irrelevant to debate whether this version improves or deflates the original; both hit their marks, deliver the broad yuks, and leave behind a mostly mechanical feel. But the job is accomplished--now rest in peace. --Robert Horton
