When a filmmaker is savvy enough to hire Torn to play an eccentric codger, then has him do little more than play dead in a casket, he has a lot of learning to do.
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Rotten
That Eulogy has any laughs is largely a testament to the understated Romano -- he and Deschanel are the only ones in the cast who aren't straining to be funny.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
Romano's caveman-ish line readings are perfectly pitched.
Jan Stuart, Newsday

The terrific ensemble cast finds the right deadpan tone to deliver the dysfunction.
