Who knew the man behind Miss Piggy (literally) did English humor so well?

Oz goes back to the well and taps into British humor, which has been so influential over the years for him, going back to The Muppet Show" in the 70s

It's no classic, but it did prompt me to watch those great old Ealing Alec Guinness comedies again.

Top CriticThis Funeral won't leave audiences in a mournful state.
02/26/08
A fine British cast is wasted on feeble material.
11/17/07
Death at a Funeral has a great cast and a suitably chaotic plot but it's never quite as funny as it thinks it is.
11/02/07
In the end the knockabout humour totally destroys the glimmers of spiteful sophistication which would have made it much funnier.
11/02/07
Take away the Four Weddings and you get this dismal Brit-com.

You'll wince and fidget and groan, and finally wonder at the nerve of the film-makers who thought they could get away with this.

I hear the script was funny, which is hard to believe: this is grim, misjudged and seems to go on for ever.
11/02/07
A staggeringly inept farce.
11/02/07
Scientists believe that black holes can slow down the progress of time. A similar effect can be felt by viewers of this damp squib of a farce as it grinds on from one lame set-up to the next.
11/02/07
As funny as losing a finger.
11/02/07
A pleasantly unpleasant comedy that belatedly delivers. You won't die laughing but you shouldn't expire from boredom either.
11/02/07
A farce - but not in the way its makers intended.
11/02/07
An apologetic-looking cast treads gingerly over the resulting wreckage, though only the guy in the coffin emerges with his credibility intact.
11/02/07
A patchy but silly caper that will be dead funny (sorry) for anyone who’s recently wrestled with family hysteria. Perfect pre-Christmas fare then.
