I have always been a giant fan of yours. Your range for movies is actually really good. From X-Men to Sex Drive, Hairspray, and Enchanted, you have put together quite a resume. However your finest film yet was Death at a Funeral. You easily stole the show, in a cast full of show stealers [Tracy Morgan, Luke Wilson]. I think what did it for you was your smile. It is seriously so big. On the other side of things the whole hallucination joke went on for too long. It's cool though because your character kept the laughs going throughout. Thanks for another great performance and not making this movie as bad as I thought it would be.
Sincerely,
Corny Reviews
Before you say anything about the fact that I actually saw this movie. I ask that you read this review with an open mind. Obviously this from the second the trailer premiered was looked at by most of you as a waste of time. And for some of you it might be [racists], but I have to say I truly enjoyed this movie. Having seen the original British comedy 3 years ago in Santa Cruz, I was pleasantly surprised by this remake. The original couldn't hold on to its laughs or the audience like the Chris Rock produced remake did. The whole premise is that all these family members reunite for a funeral, but when everyone gets together hilarity ensues. Well at least this was the point of the original. The truth is it wasn't that believable. The remake was. Why was it so believable you ask? To tell you truth I don't know but with a long list for a cast including the now old Danny Glover, who delivers one of the best lines of the movie, they all kind of made it work. At about minute 75 into the movie we got point, and for this fact alone I am going to grade it a little bit lower than I should.
This is not the movie you want to show your kids due to the language, but this isn't a movie you should pass up at the old red-box either. For those of you looking to be entertained for 90 minutes this is the perfect movie. You are sure to laugh at James Marsden character, and you will definately laugh at Tracy Morgan throughout. The part I think I appreciate the most about Death at a Funeral is that the funny parts weren't in the trailer. This is something all to common in movies today and I appreciate the fact that I didn't alway know what was coming. Thank you Chris Rock, and Martin Lawrence [easily the most unfunny character of the movie] for entertaining me and my wife on this nice afternoon in Fresno. And for that entertainment and laughs alone, I give this movie a...
