A family tries to give an appropriate funeral for its late patriarch. [[Hilarity Ensues\|Cue epic sibling rivalry, accidental acid tripping, dwarf secret gay lovers, nudity, blackmail and caskets being knocked over.]] {{Needs More Info}} In what must be something of a record for an English language movie, an American [[The Remake\|remake]] starring Chris Rock was released just three years later in 2010, which kept the overall tone of a black comedy...

[[That Came Out Wrong\|but not in that way!]] ~~-----~~ === The original film contains examples of: ===▼ {{tropelist}} ▲=== The original film contains examples of: === * [[Big Screwed-Up Family]] * [[Birth-Death Juxtaposition]]: {{spoiler\|It's no coincidence that Martha ends up announcing her pregnancy during the funeral.}} Line 32 ⟶ 35: * [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]]: [[Grumpy Old Man\|Uncle Alfie]] curses, hits family members with his cane, orders people around, and bluntly says what's on his mind simply because he's old. * [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Between Daniel, [[The Unfavorite]] of nearly everyone in the family, and Robert, whom everyone loves because of his successful writing career. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Justin is this towards Martha, so much so he's a borderline male [[Abhorrent Admirer]]. Justin constantly follows Martha around and hits on her no matter how many times she tells him she's in love with Simon. {{spoiler\|Justin immediately loses interest after finding out Martha is pregnant.}} ~~-----~~ === The American remake contains examples of: === * [[Actor Allusion]]: "[[Lethal Weapon\|I'm too old for this shit.]]" * [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: Most of the people in the original are mostly fairly normal looking or somewhat attractive. The American film includes the likes of [[Zoe ~~Saldana~~Saldaña]] and [[James Marsden]]. * [[Amazing Freaking Grace]]: James Marsden bursts into song while tripping. * [[Ascended Extra]]: The lead character's wife (Keeley Hawes in the original and Regina Hall in the remake) gets a somewhat bigger role and a subplot about trying to get pregnant. Line 45 ⟶ 48: * [[Race Lift]]: The entire cast with the exception of Frank/Peter (who had the same actor), Simon/Oscar and Justin/Derek. Which allowed for this bit of dialogue: {{quote\| '''Aaron''': Our father was having gay sex with a guy who could fit in his pocket... and you're mad 'cause he's ''white?''}} The original contained a similar line, but the sticking point was that he was ''American,'' not white. * [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: Ryan says this when he sees that a family friend has grown from a girl to a voluptuous young woman. {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Films of the 2010s~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Films of the 2000s]]▼ [[Category:Death at a Funeral]]▼ [[Category:Film]] ▲[[Category:Films of the 2000s]] ▲[[Category:~~Death~~Films atof athe ~~Funeral~~2010s]]
