To die will be learned (original title: Death at a Funeral ) is an American comedy by director Neil LaBute from 2010. It is a remake of the British film of the same name for beginners (original title also: Death at a Funeral ).
action
Aaron, who still lives in the parents' house with his wife Michelle, organizes his father's funeral. He receives little help from his younger brother Ryan; The successful author brags about his first class trip, but is allegedly not liquid enough to pay his share of the funeral costs. The entire funeral service is very chaotic: First the wrong person is in the coffin and even at the funeral itself, unfortunate coincidences, in which the guests are involved, pile up: for example, his cousin Elaine gives her nervous fiancé Oscar supposed Valium tablets from her brother Jeff, which herself later turn out to be highly potent hallucinogens . Oscar causes a lot of fuss, for example jumping up in the middle of the funeral ceremony because he thinks the coffin has moved. The extremely comical scenery is finally heated up when the dead man's former lover, short Frank, appears. He puts Aaron and Ryan under pressure by threatening to publish scandalous private photos of their father, so that they are forced to calm him down with the alleged Valium tablets. When Frank appears dead due to a severe overdose, the situation comes to a head and the two decide to transport him to their father's coffin to cover up the accident. During the continuation of the ceremony, however, which was interrupted due to Oscar's delusions, he jumps out of the coffin alive, so that everything comes to an agreeable end. At the end of the film it becomes clear that the previously very tense relationship between the brothers and the relatives has improved due to the bizarre incidents.
criticism
“Almost impossible in this family: As in the original, Neil LaBute confronts a grieving son with the wild pack that are his relatives and in this case the crème de la crème Hollywood of Hollywood's black comedians - Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan. Dying does n't want to be learned as macabre as the British model is . Despite the joke, the film knows how to entertain. "
“The crème de la crème of the black drama guild is having a hilarious rendezvous and is reinforced by white jokers like Luke Wilson or a gay dwarf with this macabre pleasure in the open coffin freely after a quite funny British comedy from 2007 ( Die for Beginners ). Bad taste and drugs clash with traditional screwball comedy, a lot happens at the same time, and director Neil LaBute ( Wicker Man ) lets the viewer stay on top of things . "
“Remake of the comedy" Die for Beginners "(2007) with a star cast of Afro-American actors who have little opportunity to develop; so the film exhausts itself in over-the-top fuss and stale gags. "
