Nach dem Tod ist vor dem Erbe

I think you have to gave a twisted sense of humor for this one, or at least not take offense to things easily. I absolutely LOVE this movie! Maybe that is due to having a dysfunctional family myself but I laughed my @$$ off through this whole movie!!

When the patriarch of a dysfunctional family dies, his sons and daughters travel with their families to the funeral. While they stay in the house of the matriarch waiting for the funeral and the testament, secrets are exposed and wounds are opened in the relationships of the members.

Watching "Eulogy" for the second time, I found it a funny dark comedy. The humor is not easy, but the great cast has good performance and there are many cynical situations. The Brazilian title misleads the viewer. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil) : "Um Funeral Muito Louco" ("A Very Crazy Funeral")

I went into this film with high expectations considering the amazing cast and wasn't disappointed. It was consistently entertaining -- and often explosively funny.

Sometimes it felt like a throwback screwball comedy other times the comedy was more subtle and nuanced but it was always fun. Looked like it was gonna get a touch overly sentimental at the end but managed to bleach the saccharin out of the most "emotional" moments. A welcomed little performance piece film full of nice little moments.

This movie is a hilarious reminder that reality has nothing to do with what we think is true. Brilliant screenplay, exceptional cast, and LOL funny. If you loved "Harold & Maude," "Sideways," and/or "Wilder Napalm," you'll love this one too. Debra Winger continues to be a revelation. Ray Romano - who knew? Hank Azaria, perfect as always. Piper is the real surprise. I don't have anything else to say, but have to write 10 lines in order to get my two cents in. Is this crazy? Shorter and to the point is better. Anyway, whether my remarks get posted or not, this site is one of the very most useful and frequently consulted on our "favorites" list.

Lately I have not seen many films at all that I really like or can honestly recommend. Then, as if from nowhere, my friend saw Eulogy on the stand at a movie rental place and said it sounded good. As soon as the rented DVD was in my DVD player and on the main menu it was hilarious! It's not usual that I have such an optimistic approach to movies before I even see them, so I knew I was in for something good. During the movie there were several parts where we laughed so hard that we continuously had to rewind and catch up on parts that we laughed through. It's cynical, tongue-in-cheek, and good-natured. It has the sense of humor and attitude that real people have, and that's what's great about it. One thing that's rare in movies is something real. When you watch the movie you get the feel that you're dealing with real people, which is why this film is so easy to enjoy. It's like watching real people in hilarious situations. I've now recommended this film to dozens of people. Yes, Eulogy is an automatic favorite.
