"The Big Chill" meets "Rocket Gibraltar" in a comedy about the bickering members of a Rhode Island family getting together to mark (but not mourn) the death of their patriarch, played in a video clip by Rip Torn. The humor's as crazy as it is (sometimes) dark, and the Viking funeral that ends it all takes the concept of going out with a bang to its literal extreme.
