Hey Jo,
Have to say I agree wholeheartedly. I too, was taken in by the Four Weddings and A Funeral comparison. There is no comparison except for the word 'funeral' in the title. For me it followed hot on the heels of Love And Other Disasters - another crap Brit film in my view. I must get myself a copy of London to Brighton in order to redeem the British film industry!
Unfortunately I have to write about Death At A Funeral for my next blog because of that incredibly ridiculous character who is supposedly a bestselling author. What a cliche that guy was - even down to the greasy black hair. And that's not to mention his brother - he of the secret novel manuscript. I don't know if we were supposed to believe his manuscript was great or not but going on the eulogy he wrote for his father I would say, "Keep it in the drawer, Big Boy!"
And I know what you mean about the difficulty in posting a bad review but sometimes it just bursts out of you.
Cheers
Jayne
Hi ladies, if the wankers are stuffing their pants and inflating their careers with tripe, call it what it is and then make sure that you don't step in it on your way about life.

You're right it wasn't great. But I did make it to the end and it did seem to be easier to watch as the movie went on.
I found the guy that took the "valium" hilarious at times.
But yes, it certainly wasn't brilliant.

I agree 100%. my experience was like yours and Jayne's. I was so disappointed.
