Death at a Funeral (2007)

From NetFlix:

The funeral for the patriarch of a wealthy but eccentric British clan is turned topsy-turvy when a stranger appears claiming to be the dead man’s gay lover in this dramedy directed by Frank Oz and starring Peter Dinklage, Matthew Macfadyen and Rupert Graves. The dysfunctional family grows wackier as the deceased’s sons decide they can’t let the rest of the guests get wind of this revelation. But can they get the cat back into the bag?

Peter Dinklage shows up at a funeral with proof that he was the dead father’s lover. This British slap stick comedy made me laugh a lot so I classified it in the list as feel-good B-movie. It’s an easy watch if you just want to relax. It is a bit crude and thus not for children.

Peter Dinklage is the only dwarf movie star I can name. “Death at a Funeral” is not his best and not an important movie. To appreciate Peter Dinklage, you should really watch “The Station Agent”

Save “Death at a Funeral” for a down day.
