highly recommended

A spirited ensemble cast keeps things cooking in Eulogy, a black comedy about a gathering of the dysfunctional Collins family following the death of its prickly patriarch (Rip Torn). Zooey Deschanel plays granddaughter Kate, struggling to fulfill the old man's last wish that she write his eulogy. Meanwhile, her dad (Hank Azaria), a has-been actor, smokes pot in the dark and referees battles between his seamy brother Skip (Ray Romano), lesbian sister Lucy (Kelly Preston) and her lover Judy (Famke Janssen), caustic sibling Alice (Debra Winger), and suicidal mother Charlotte (Piper Laurie). Confused about her loyalties, poor Kate alternately runs to and from best friend Ryan (Jesse Bradford), who wants to become her lover, while Alice--super-critical of Lucy's sexuality--fails to keep secret her own fling with a nurse (Glenne Headly). Eulogy never quite reaches full boil, but there are many funny moments, and Deschanel, Romano, and Preston are particularly watchable. --Tom Keogh

Eulogy

this was a gift for my husband - he was tickled - it arrived promptly and in condition described.

Dark Comedy, all star cast, highly overlooked

I picked this film up as a free rental no expecting much. This is a really funny movie. Ray Ramano, Hank Azaria, Zooey Deschanel, Kelly Preston, and Rip Torn amongst others are the line up for this comedy of a dysfunctional family, which chest gets more and more dysfuctional as the film goes on. But again, in the end, they are all family. Very funny and interesting, worth a rent or purchasing, either way, a really overlooked gem.

Funny!

If you like irreverant, dark, understated humor, get this film -- it's hysterical!
Great performances including Kelly Preston and Ray Romano.

It is funny but not great

This movie has its funny moments. The acting is great giving it four starts. The story could of used more touch ups and some parts just seemed silly but hey it is a movie about a dysfunctional family and it plays that card well. All the characters make this movie work. I recommend this if your looking for a good rental but when it comes to adding to your movie collection it will just build up dust since its just going wear massivly after a couple of watches.

Diffently worth watching even though its only going to be funny the first couple times you watch it. Diffently not even close to a classic.

Over the top but likeable

DVD is the best thing since slice bread because if you missed a movie cause you're too busy you can always catch it on DVD, and Eulogy is probably one of those movies that people won't go out of their ways to see in their local theather but can appreciate on DVD. It's an over the top treatment of a disfunction American family with a funeral thrown in. The only sane, respondsible character is grandaughter Kate(Zooey Deschane-looking like a younger version of Winger) who tries to keep waring aunts, kooky grandma, divorced/oversexed uncle and pot smoking dad from killing each other while trying to compose a eulogy for her much loved grandfather(Rip Torn). The movie doesn't hold back in the insanity department, everyone is crazy and off the chain, even the lascivious 12yr twin nephews and the poor widowed grandma who with acute depression, can't seem to off herself properly. It gets better at the funeral when Debra Winger walks to the piano seeming like she was gonna sing something funeral-like apropriate song, but instead she sings "I am not in love, but I'm open to persuation, east or west where's the best for romancing with a friend, I can smile" ofcourse this is dedicated to the Glenne Headly character, a friend from high school, which she sorta re-kindles a long ago "romance " What's it got to do with a funeral? I don't know but it was funny. What a crack up! You might not like the whole movie but a lot of parts are pretty funny. I laughed.
