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.

This American version is horrible.I am not known for my sense of humor and generally avoid comedy. The British 2007 production is exquisite. I almost fell out of my chair, I was laughing so hard.This 2010 American remake is just horrible. Contrasting the two makes a person appreciate the contribution of good acting to a production.If you only watch one version, please make that the 2007 British. If you have the time, watch them both, because there's a lesson to be learned in doing so.

By making a US version of this comedy- they have dumbed it down and lost a lot in translation. Much of what made the original film great was absent, with poor acting throughout and lackluster line delivery ruining most of the jokes. The actors seemed to not understand the story and as a result the expression and tone required to pull this off just wasn't there. Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock may as well have been reading their lines...they were that bad. Tracy Morgan and Luke Wilson were also surprisingly poor. James Marsden was probably the best performance whilst all the Ladies performed reasonably well- and Peter Dinklage played the EXACT same character. This remake was genuinely pointless, a waste of money and I wish I hadn't watched it because it might put a dampener on the UK version- so I highly recommend that you watch the UK version and skip this one.

A comedy that focused on two brothers and their relationship with the decease. Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence encountered difficulties through out the entire funeral that some what changed their lives. Anything that you could think of probably went wrong that day, but the brothers tried everything to get through everything that tried to stand in their way. The brothers found out some astonishing information about the decease that they did not want to be released at no cost. Trying to keep this secret caused some difficulties that could have cost them a lot more than they where prepared for. This film was not some of Chris and Martin's best work, but I did get a few chuckles out of it. I usually enjoy movies that Chris and Martin make but I guess it is a little more difficult when the movie is a remake; although I did not see the original.
