Daniel prepares the funeral of his late father, giving himself to the holy sacraments quoted friends and family. However, a medication error with one of the attendees, and the appearance of a stranger with a suspicious affinity with the late, threaten to turn the funeral into chaos.
Frank Oz, best known for his work as a puppeteer with Jim Henson and the creator of Yoda, who as director gives us a comedy of English airs, you can remember Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral, but it is a entertaining mixture of humor and simple English, American humor, including some that another passenger eschatological and black humor that starts with this mix we smile. The film takes the tragic backdrop of a funeral to show the bickering among family and friends and serve as a guide for a series of gags and crazy situations, sprinkled with hallucinogenic substances and politically incorrect connection to tap the still more absurd story exacerbating the poor son of late that looks like it will not prevent the burial of his father will become a circus, while he has to deal with personal issues of being in the shadow of his brother, a renowned novelist and not having enough money to buy a house with his wife. The actors, most of them British, are brilliant in their performances, noting simply for the role of the character, Alan Tudyk, the interpretation of gestures is one of the most will make us laugh and enjoy this comedy. No one can say that Death at a Funeral, is comedy of the year, but surely, is above the average of what we usually offer the billboard, exceeding by far, in my opinion, the recent Superbad. without having to constantly resort to sex, or profanity and behavior chuleria thugs, Death at a Funeral, on merit get more fun and more work than this and other American comedies that ultimately end up resorting to the typical round nut to loosen the moral of friendship or love, here comes the moral of last words, but it goes completely unnoticed ... well, I took another, careful self-medication.

The teen comedy this year has a name, Superbad. This production comes from the makers of the brilliant "40 Year Old Virgin" is put into relief the most disadvantaged sector of American institutions, those kids who do not wet and want to be popular and flirting. This sexual desire and was reflected in "American Pie", but the protagonists of this film are even more mediocre and not talking about normal youth, but the so-called freaks who are always mockery of the most popular. We have Evan, without charisma that is carried away by his companion, Seth, Superbad is an authentic obsessed with male attributes and increase the number of pickups and powders. And Foggell, a scrawny that would take all collejas at any school in the free world. The best are the two side with more weight on the number of gags, a couple of police officers that have no waste. While some industry critics is determined to highlight it, personally, does not revolutionize the genre and offers nothing new, but fun, with ever more fun than others. And although in the end we witness a situation that really could have turned around to rarely seen comedy, stays in the foreseeable.
