***1/2 out of ****     I'm not one for lists. Rounding up films and placing them on a "Top Ten" or "Top 5" list is just too much for me. I decidedly don't make lists often, and prefer to merely assign films to my "Favorites" or "Genre Favorites". While watching "Death at a Funeral", the hilarious Frank Oz-directed British funeral satire, I sort of did this. I plan to regard Oz's film as one of the best comedies of the 2000's. It's smart, hilarious, ironic, and also quite honest. …

Pros: Still making me giggle from time to time     Cons: Two distinct "Eeeeewwww" moments, but that's it     The Bottom Line: Better than what I've seen lately and a whole lot funnier.     Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot. Trailers are the only form of advertising that works on me.  I can see a commercial for soap and never think about it again in my entire life, but if I see a movie trailer …
