Death at a Funeral (2007)

Death at a Funeral

A family funeral always brings out the best in people. A stranger who introduces himself as Peter (Peter Dinklage) shows up at the funeral of Daniel (Matthew MacFadyen) and Robert’s (Rupert Graves) father with the intent of blackmail. He’s after a bundle not to show around pictures he has proving the affair he had with their father. Due to circumstances beyond his control, he finds himself tied up in curtain cord, tripping on acid that has another fellow naked on the roof admiring the birdies and learning why mum says not to jump on the furniture. After crashing his noggin on a table, his hosts figure him dead and spend a moment trying to think of where they can stash his body for the duration of his ex-lovers’ and their dad’s funeral. Yeah, it didn’t take me all that long to reach the same conclusion.
