Death at a Funeral, Release Date 4/16, Diva Screen Date 4/17

We'd been anticipating this movie for a while...it started out a little slower than expected but picked up as it went along. There were some parts that were so funny, I thought I'd have to help Dave off the floor after he laughed himself out of his chair.

This entire movie happens in the course of a few hours at a family funeral. Typical family chaos and dysfunction abound keep the plot moving from one story to the next and back again. Usually I can't handle throw-up scenes, in this there is a poop scene that rivals any projectile vomiting I've ever seen. James Marsden, who I didn't even realize was in this movie, stole every scene he was in. Danny Glover was great as the cantankerous elder relative that makes everyone miserable. The only thing I didn't understand was why and how Tracy Morgan related to the rest and other than making the poop scene possible, the movie could have done without him (and Luke Wilson for that matter).

This was very funny and I look forward to seeing it on DVD!
