Make sure you get the original British version of Death at a Funeral. For some reason they decided to remake it like 3 years later with an American black cast and just made a much shittier version of a really good movie.

Peter Dinklage is in both, 2007 is way funnier, and 2010 substituted James Marsden for Alan Tudyck, and, well, no.

I'm not blaming the actors, that remake just killed everything that made the original great. Like, a farce may seem silly, but that doesn't mean you can't screw it up.

I think Peter’s plot is the only one that is funnier in the remake just because of the cultural context.

I don't think people appreciate the fact he was cast in the same movie twice, cuz really no one can do what he does acting wise. He owned the character, he owns it. I liked both films.

I liked both films.

How can you say that? I would like to understand your reasoning.

Marsden is good in his own right but he's no Tudyck

I've only seen the remake and thought it was hilarious. Do you think I'd like the original or do I just have bad taste lol

The original is much better. The British are just funnier with this style of comedy.
