The first official trailer for Chris Rock’s newest flick has just been released online and it’s already getting some negative attention. To be fair, it’s gotten a few lukewarm reactions as well. A remake of the 2007 British movie of the same name, Death at a Funeral stars Rock, as well as other stand-up comedian vets Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan and Kevin Hart. Despite the talent involved, however, respected movie review site slashfilm.com says that racism brings the film down.

Writer Peter Sciretta says, “The new film has a primarily African-American cast and focuses on a funeral that ‘devolves into a debacle of misplaced cadavers, indecent exposure and family secrets.’ Basically, they have decided to remake an English-language film, dumbing down the jokes, in an effort to attract a more black audience (and to clarify: this comment is a statement on Hollywood chooses to treat ticket-buying African-Americans, and not a statement on the intelligence of that audience).’”

It’s a bit difficult make any informed decision based on this few-minute trailer, so we’re not sure slashfilm is giving the flick a fair chance yet. What do you think? You can check out the original movie trailer from 2007 after the jump. Leave your comments below.
