The cast of Chris Rock's new film reads like a who's who of US funnymen. The actor and comic appears alongside Martin Lawrence, 30 Rock's Tracey Morgan and Luke Wilson in Death At A Funeral.
Avatar actress Zoe Saldana also stars and admits the comedy cast made it tough not to laugh during takes.
"It was hard, it felt almost impossible at times to keep a straight face or to just remember that you are also playing a character and you have to do your job because they were so good. It was worse in the days that they felt inspired to improvise," said the 31-year-old.
Death At A Funeral is a remake of a 2007 British film of the same name. Stand-up favourite Chris said he hopes audiences get more out of the feature than just humour.
"When I saw the movie I just thought, this family is so American. I think everyone in America can relate to the movie," said Chris.
