Kate Collins (Zooey Deschanel),
struggling through an awkward
first year at college, returns
home upon the death of her
grandfather. At school, Kate
might not fit in, but at home,
she is quickly surrounded by a
disruptive group of people even
weirder than she is: her family.
First, there's her father,
Daniel (Hank Azaria), once child
star, now in "adult" films. Then
there's tightly wound Aunt Lucy
(Kelly Preston) who has waited
till the last minute to announce
her wedding to life partner Judy
(Famke Janssen), and wildly
inappropriate Uncle Skip (Ray
Romano) with his obnoxious twin
boys. And last but not least,
there's pushy Aunt Alice (Debra
Winger) whose brash approach to
marriage, motherhood and
casseroles is unsettling to all
concerned.
When her grandmother (Piper
Laurie) entrusts her with the
task of delivering the eulogy at
the funeral, Kate turns to her
relatives for help. She quickly
comes to realize that her own
fond memories of Grandpa Collins
(Rip Torn) are not shared by his
children.

 He is usually seen slumping around his TV house in old sweats and baggy flannel shirts, but for once Everybody Loves Raymond's Ray Romano was spotted wearing a sharp suit. The change of style is for his role in the new film Eulogy, a dark comedy. In this scene, shot in LA, three generations of a family come together for their father's funeral where Ray's character and his kids push the coffin onto a lake and set it ablaze.
