Preview: Death at a Funeral (2007)

• Poster: B-

Review:

There isn't much to the poster, a shot of several key figures of the film from behind is not what I would describe as enticing. The poster doesn't pop out at the viewer and even with Peter Dinklage on one end and a naked woman on the other, I can't see very much that's remarkable about it.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

Although the premise seems fatalistically similar to that of Four Weddings and a Funeral, the preview does make you laugh and feel like you really could appreciate a film that so intriguingly laughs at death.

Oscar Prospects:

The success of Four Weddings isn't not likely to be repeated. I'd love to see Dinklage recognized after his wonderful performance in The Station Agent, but even if it matched Wedding's achievement, the performances are just as likely to be ignored as they were before.
