The problem with this setup in a post-Farrelly Brothers, post-“South Park” world is that nothing is really sacred or taboo anymore to illicit the kind of shock value that these works previously thrived on. Developing sympathetic or realistic characters also takes a backseat to upping the mayhem, which leaves you with little to hold your interest, since Funeral is only intermittently funny.
