Empire Online: If this plot sounds familiar, it’s because the original, British version of Dean Craig’s funeral farce, which was directed by Frank Oz and featured an ensemble led by Matthew Macfadyen, only came out (and quickly went) in 2007. Two things the films have in common: Craig’s screenplay and Peter Dinklage reprising his role as the uninvited mystery mourner. Brace yourself for a shock. The American re-make is waaay better.
