"Death at a Funeral" and Roger Ebert

Got around to watching the remake last night. The one Ebert said was better than the original. I began to wonder about his motives. (I can see Rock's motives---$$$) The remake does not improve on the original so what's the point? Surely Ebert can see this. I wonder if he wanted to appear loyal to American cinema, was afraid to be politically incorrect by not preferring the mainly African American effort, or just what. Oh, I know, we will have Ebert detractors here ("Well what did you expect?")and there is that. Perhaps it is just different tastes in what is funny. He thought Hangover hilarious and I thought it amusing.
Maybe it is me, I have thought few things funny since Richard Pryor.
