Genre
Eulogy is a Dark Comedy
Premise
Elderly father of extended disfunctional family dies. Granddaughter must deliver eulogy.
People
Rip Torn is the dead dad. Ray Romano is actually good as father of hell-raising twin boys. Dude who does Moe's voice on the Simpsons as washed up child star & closet pot head. There's also a suicidal widow, lesbian daughter, oh, and I almost forgot the protagonist granddaughter.
Memorable Moment
The deviant twins request to intern with their aunt's lesbian lover. She grants them the privilege of massaging a foot.
If you liked...
The Royal Tenenbaums, you will like this movie. It's darker, has many more lesbians, and is equally hilarious.
Bottom Line.
What makes this movie so good is the interaction between the family: the teenage fascination with lesbians shared by the father and his twin boys, the unrestrained cat fights between adult sisters. If you're a fan of dark comedies go see this movie when it comes out, if you don't like dark comedies then go die and rot in a hole.
