It isn’t too often that a full-fledged remake hits theaters a mere three years after the original’s debut, but it does happen. Neil LaButere, who is known more for his dramas than his comedies, chose to take a risk and ‘Americanize’ the British indie-hit,
Death at a Funeral. Securing an all-star ensemble of A-list talent, LaButere looked to be onto something great. Stars like Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Luke Wilson, Danny Glover and Tracy Morgan nearly guarantee at least some laughs, but it is their willingness to share the spotlight that benefits the film so greatly.
