My daughter and I laughed continually throughout the whole movie and intend to view it a second time.
posted by Death at a Funeral on Aug 30, 2008I have never before seen a film so funny. I paused it so many times to literally wipe away tears. Watched it on a flight from NY to London and it was very apparent who else in our cabin was watching the same film Its always a matter of taste and opinion so if you're of the right (or maybe wrong) mind for this type of black, slightly chaotic, ironic humour then I can only suggest you relieve yourself beforehand and pack some tissues!!!
