Synopsis

Death at a Funeral follows the comic twists and turns of a dysfunctional British family as they gather to mourn the passing of their patriarch. It’s the day of his father’s funeral and Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) wants everything to go according to plan. Unfortunately, his brother is only interested in chatting up a pretty girl at the service, his cousin’s straight-laced boyfriend is convinced that someone is alive in the coffin and a rogue bottle of hallucinogenic pills keeps popping up. If that isn’t enough, a mystery visitor (Peter Dinklage) from his father’s past threatens to expose the patriarch’s secret, unless he is paid a princely sum.

Frank Oz, the director of Bowfinger, In & Out and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, bring us a riotous tale of one man’s struggle to maintain his dignity while swimming in a sea of calamity.
