Aroview: A Rhode Island family come together for the funeral of their grandpa, but their various dysfunctions and inappropriate traits prove a continual stumbling point.

Centring around one-time child actor Azaria, who has since secretly become a porn star, and is trying to keep the fact from his daughter (Deshanel), this black comedy revels in prickly situations and spilled family skeletons. Although never resolving into much of a coherent whole, this strings together enough quirky gags to pass the entertainment test.

3 stars (Good Enough) This is pretty funny and has a charming, capable cast (there are some nice scenes of ensemble stonedness), but the script is a bit woolly - some character arcs defy belief, some go nowhere. Worth seeing just for Azaria - always comedy gold. ~HiFi

2 stars (Good Try) As a black comedy, it is not successful, but it doesn't sink without a trace because of the appeal of the cast. ~Tubbs
