Death At a Funeral (2007) vs. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

The Smackdown : British comedies are a class unto their own.  Anyone would be hard pressed to Smackdown one to what Americans consider comedic.  I dare you!  Can you imagine Adam Sandler against Mr. Bean?  If you’re a full-blooded patriot, Sandler is your man, however, if you pre…
