Sneak Peek: Chris Rock's New Star-Studded Comedy

Talk about a killer ensemble cast. Chris Rock has assembled an all-star and might we add, funny as hell, cast for his new movie "Death at a Funeral Home" about a family trying to cope with the death of its patriarch. Co-starring with Rock are Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Danny Glover, Columbus Short, Loretta Devine, Regina Hall...the list goes on. Rock took the idea from a British comedy "Death at a Funeral." He even bought the rights to the original. Rock and crew are seriously bringing the funny, but we'll let you be the judge.
