When I think of english comedies, two things come to mind: great script and amazing cast. I'm trying to think of one bad english comedy and honestly can't. Maybe the second "Bridget Jones", if that's an english film at all, but "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The Full Monty", "Love Actually", "About a Boy", and many others, all great movies. Not only a lot of fun, but good writing and acting as well.
"Death at a Funeral", directed by Frank Oz ("In & Out", "Bowfinger", "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"), is no exception. I don't think it's up there with its aforementioned compatriots, but very very good. Finding humor in the bizarre is not as easy as it seems, and this movie delivers it. I give it 3,5 stars out of 5.
