Reviews:
”Good Death at a Funeral is flawed, but I'm willing to forgive a lot of flaws when a movie makes me laugh as much as this one.” Berardinelli, Internet Critic
”Good The movie is part farce (unplanned entrances and exits), part slapstick (misbehavior of corpses) and part just plain wacky eccentricity.” Roger Ebert
”Very Good The lack of propriety and solemnity is precisely what makes this comic farce so uproariously funny.” USA Today
”Average But while trying so hard to have such a good time, the movie simply forgets to be funny, and begins to grate before the body even cools.” TV Guide Online
