Just what I expected

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Reviews are being over critical. Was entertaining and a good laugh. Would have gotten better reviews if not a remake. I liked both but have to give the nod to the first one as the original.

Yes, the humor at times was sophomoric. I have not seen the original version, so I can't compare the two. The movie has little in the way of plot, just people at a funeral addressing odd issues as they arise. Chris Rock places the "straight man" and is our voice of reason.Martin Lawrence, plays his brother, who is a published author. He pretends to have a lot of money, but is broke. He spends his time at the funeral attempting to pick up the hot 18 year old neighbor girl. He asks her to NYC and says, "I got all kinds of snacks. Like Sugar Daddies?" Chris' mother laments about not having any grandchildren in front of Chris' spouse who wants sex every day. During the funeral she says, "We got 5 minutes, I'm not wearing any panties."Danny Glover plays the curmudgeon uncle in a wheel chair. In one scene he proclaims, " I know a dead man when I see one. I live in a retirement home." The cousin has a white male boyfriend who is high, but not his fault. She tells her dad he is on Valium. Dad replies, "Your mother was on Valium for 30 years and she never knocked over a coffin." Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend is also at the funeral and is trying to rekindle their romance. He laments, "I've only been sleeping 8 hours at a night. I am at my wit's end."If you enjoy that type of humor, plus a little slap stick, you will enjoy this somewhat low-brow production as much as I did.

A family reunion at a father's funeral is going to turn very nasty as everyone holds a secret who's unveiling will leave deep marks on the others.It's a comedy which besides having a good idea and being very funny provides nothing else than a big disappointment. You see, everything has its limits and when you break them (especially as often as this movie does) you end up with a cavalcade of awkward, stupid and unnecessary situations. It starts very promising and funny but that's about it, degenerating rapidly into scenes and characters which shouldn't have been there, all ending up as exaggerated as it can be. I really was expecting more but hey, there's always a better movie waiting to be seen.

Fortunately this film does not aspire to great heights. Flogged, hackneyed racial in-jokes spoil rather than entertain. Typical token-black hogwash. This film stars some familiar faces presumably so people will say "oh it's that guy," affording the film enough time to slip in a half-baked one-liner to catch their attention and with any luck stop them changing the channel. Personally I was working on my research when I overheard this film's embarrassingly try-hard attempts to be funny. Since I was close to nodding off, and a source once told me the film was passable, I slumped onto the couch in disbelief as Chris Rock gave his father's eulogy right when a midget predictably leaped from the casket. In the uproar that follows, a resolute Rock commands the audience's attention because his trite message is important. His accomplice, wearing square-rims, looks on approvingly. Sometime before this, a white guy was on acid on a rooftop threatening to commit suicide. It's possible I missed something, but I don't know how to reconcile the two.There is no lesson here, except that the dumb can get on top of the clever, and from there, proceed to defecate all over their better judgment.
