鮮明的角色
眾多的角色並非這部電影的特色。眾多具有鮮明特質且不會互相搶戲的人物才是這部片真正有看頭的地方！不若《惡棍特工》（Inglorious Basterds）有位光芒萬丈的反派角色，在《超完美告別》（Death at a Funeral）中，每一位演員都恰如其份的演出個性迥異的角色，瘋狂的劇情確有種朝氣蓬勃的幽默感，滑稽中卻又帶有一絲嚴肅，是很特殊的觀影感受。劇中飾演Howard的Andy Nyman尤其讓我有親切感，可能是他的角色特質和相當重的英國口音讓我想起了《活人甡吃》（Shaun of the Dead）和《終棘警探》（Hot Fuzz）裡的Nick Frost，哈哈！
▼預告片，意想不到的劇情！
看了前十分鐘沒有很好笑啊？別轉台
其實這部片人物性格之所以能如此突出，有一半歸功於前半段對各個人物的描述，利用快速帶過所有出場人物的方式，導演法蘭克歐茲（Frank Oz）埋下了一拖拉庫的梗。直到劇情急轉直下的那一刻開始，我不由得讚嘆這部片的精心佈局。劇情爆發性的發展和忍不住的笑意真的會讓我們脫離「這是一場喪禮」的現實，多虧有那位趕著三點要離開的神父，才能將一發不可收拾的劇情慢慢導回正軌。
▼演員和劇本都超棒！
完美的結局
正當這場鬧劇演得正烈即將達到高潮時，主角丹尼爾大喊一聲把所有人從荒誕脫序的情境中拉回來：
"My father was an exceptional man!"
全場靜默。
丹尼爾的表情很嚴肅，就像一位剛喪父、悲痛卻又裝做堅強的兒子。
此刻，想必大家心中都是五味雜陳。
無論是在場的親友賓客們，還是在螢幕前的我們。
接著，丹尼爾說了一段真正感人至深的悼文：
He may not have been a perfect man, but he was a good man, and he loved us. All I wanted to do today was to give him a dignified send-off. Is that really so much to ask? So, maybe, maybe he had some things he liked to do. Life isn't simple, it's complicated. We're all just thrown in here together, in a world full of chaos and confusion, a world full of questions and no answers, death always lingering around the corner, and we do our best. We can't only do our best, and my dad did his best. He always tried to tell me that you have to go for what you want in life because you never know how long you're going to be here. And whether you succeed or you fail, the most important thing is to have tried. And apparently no one will guide you in the right direction, in the end you have to learn for yourself. You have to grow up yourself. So when you all leave here today, I would like you to remember my father for who he really was: a decent, loving man. If only we could be as giving and generous and as understanding as my father was. Then the world would be a far better place.
再次的，電影一幕幕閃過我們眼前，原來電影裡面發生的一切，不過是每個人生命中的一段小插曲，激情終究會走到終點的，不求成功只求盡力表現，別徒留遺憾就好。
▼煩寧！
接著是首尾呼應的棺木進行曲，搭配上NG鏡頭及演員介紹（這段我超喜歡）。
終於，棺木下葬了，超完美告別。
