3.0 out of 5 stars A good, fun, British film, September 14, 2008

This review is from: Chaos & Cadavers (DVD)

Overall, this is an enjoyable if (mostly) predictable, understated British comedy. Edward (Nick Moran) and his "lonely hearts" bride Samantha (Keeley Hawes) are a newlywed couple unwittingly staying at a hotel with an undertakers' convention. It's a setup to a comedy punchline, but there are some fun surprises as, to be expected, the wedded couple has not been entirely forthcoming with one another. The plot is pretty simple, with one one surprise at a time, but the acting is good and it's a funny movie most of the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant British comedy, February 28, 2011

This review is from: Chaos & Cadavers (DVD)

A mousey fellow and a golddigger go on their honeymoon and discover that a convention of morticians are in the same hotel, which is disturbing, particularly since he is a thanatophobic. The jokes are hit and miss, though there are some very good ones and others that fail, but it's a pleasant comedy overall. There are some morbid, if not grotesque, scenes as is to be expected with morticians. The ending is predictable and I wouldn't be spoiling it by saying that the couple reconcile after they initially split up, though why would anyone want to go back to that woman is beyond me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very cute, but too many lagging parts in the film, May 21, 2010

This review is from: Chaos And Cadavers (Amazon Instant Video)

I love Brit comedies, especially the dark comedies. There's just something about them that's just so incredibly funny. Unfortunately there's some of them that just aren't as good as the others.

Chaos & Cadavers follows two young newlyweds who go to a lovely secluded hotel for their honeymoon, only to discover that the hotel is also being occupied by an undertaker convention. Desperate to make the best of it, they attempt to go through their honeymoon. However when the groom has a strong fear of death, one of the undertakers has just died & the bride has secrets of her own, trying to relax isn't going to be very easy.

Generally, this was a very cute film. It is just that there are too many parts of the film that just lag. The characters are nice enough & I *loved* Rik Mayall in this film. I wish there'd been a bit more of him in the film- the parts with him were easily some of the best parts of the film.

The idea of the film is nice, the acting is fine & the location is great. It's just that the film didn't live up to expectations. It's worth watching once & renting- especially for Mayall's role, but it isn't really something that I'd want to purchase & own.
