The New Ozymandias
Death at a Funeral (2007)
directed by Frank Oz
rating: 2 out of 5 cravats
on DVD at Josh & Lorraine's
Whenever I see an actor under the influence, I think of Nicolas Cage with a hangover watching last night's tapes of escapade blackouts. I imagine a serious expression throughout, and an honest effort to deduce the "line of thought" in a bad unremembered pickup line. Alan Tudyk is best as a comic actor, and the most awkward character development on Firefly was Joss Whedon's repeated insistence that Wash and Zoe publicly reiterate (again and again) the supportive nature of their marriage. The dinosaur jokes couldn't come fast enough for me.
The funniest thing about Death at a Funeral isn't everyone taking hallucinogens, but Frank Oz exacting revenge on a Muppet-sized blackmailer. The stories those puppets could probably tell!
