Death At A Funeral

Everybody was so furious when this movie was coming out because it is a remake of some British movie from three years ago. Well, sorry to say, I had no interest at all in seeing the British movie, but this one looked ok and was also the only movie starting at the movie theater when we just drove there to see what was playing. It was pretty hilarious, I think. It's all about how this family's father dies, ha ha, get it? In conclusion America wins again.

RATING: 70%

I think it's great that you Americans get to watch remakes of movies full of difficult dialogue (in English) that you couldn't possibly understand otherwise. I think it must have something to do with the distance the sound has to travel from the ear to the brain.

Next they should remake Slumdog Millionaire.

I haven't seen the British version, but the American one wasn't filled with 5th grade dialogue. R word?

In this comment, I was referring to the English accents, in the other post, the oft-cited pseudostatistic regarding mean American literacy.

The original wasn't that good. I haven't seen this one, but I think a remake in under three years is a monument to provincialism and bad taste, with or without a black cast.

Internet john, I watch american movies all the time that I don't understand what the hell they are saying, but I still like them. Of coarse they are all directed by that racist spike lee, but I still love me a darky movie all the same.

Was Spike Lee that guy in Ghandi?

Also, they had the same fucking midget in both movies. How stupid is that?
