Make and Re-make

Here's the premise: A well-respected, successful man with two sons dies. His friends and family gather for the funeral. The younger son is a published author with fans and supporters even among the funeral attendees. The older son has spent much of his youth taking care of his parents and resenting his brother.  Wacky relatives and unexpected guests reveal that there was more going in the father's life than anyone knew.

Penni's comments: When I saw the 2007 British version of Death at a Funeral I was laughing in the aisles; so taken with the wit and humor that was low-key and clever.  Now, maybe I was tainted by the way I felt about the 2007 version but, I was not as crazy about the America version.  It seems  that in general, American comedies go for the obvious laughs while the British version is subtle and therefore more unexpected and funnier.  But, with that said the premise of the movies is the same and is worth a look see...but if you can find a copy of the British version I believe you will enjoy it and have more fun with it.
