Defining Hilarity!
.jpg)
Ninety minutes flew by in cascading spasms of laughter. The culprit here is "Death At A Funeral," the British ensemble farce that is surely the year's funniest film to date.So how does one review a film? Let me count the ways.
1. Four words that encapsule. "Ingeniously hilarious, don't miss!"
2. Haiku (5-7-5)
"Four warped brilliant gags.
Endless mirthful confusion.
Shreds of dignity."
3. Oblique comment. "I love films with average-looking people."
4. Insight. "The British are ideal for farce, if only for their dogged attempts to retain some semblence of composure in the face of utter chaos and distress."
5. A link to Metacritic. Surely you know about Metacritic...
