i be all for a sweet and funny and touching independent film about a band of dysfunctional and quirky character interact but i felt that eulogy fell flat and be uninspiring and be over the top and bad of all and be just not believable . someone die . the whole family come together a a result . interaction and hilarity and drama ensue and the audience be suppose to be engross . this be nothing new and yet still have potential to be something great if the writing and acting and all the element come together but they do not and a a result and this movie be average at best . if someone tell me that there be go to be a sequel about this family and their hijinks and i would not watch b or c i do not care and that be the problem . i do not find the character endear or likable at all except maybe katie play by zooey deschanel who be the token normal one of the bunch . in fact and at time it seem a though she be in a different movie since she be so lay back and sane and the character around her be so over the top and cartoonish . i just do not find the family interaction or character believable it like each character be his or her own caricature of what a true character should be only not . i want to get into this family and this movie . i want to care about these character . i want to go on the journey with these character a they rehash the past and dealt with repressed demon but a i say above and i just do not care one iota about them and i find the whole dynamic very manufactured . i be very aware at all time that these be actor try to create a dynamic of a dysfunctional family . it just do not work for me at all . 4/10 since there be some funny moment albeit over the top just like the character and the dialogue in this movie . oh and be ready for some cheap joke at lesbian expense because apparently the movie be that sophisticated and smart ( snerk ) many that can be see a offensive include the 10 year old mentality that girl plus girl couple equal hot lesbian action . yes and it that stupid .
