The world of film is obviously as broad and far-reaching as it could be, and no matter how much we might feel that certain films are so good that everyone should like them, people have differing tastes. I might think My Dinner with Andre is easily one of the best films there is, despite the fact that most people can’t finish it.

Filmmaker Christopher Guest is bringing his quirky sense of humor to the small-screen. HBO has placed a straight-to-series order for a new single-camera, documentary-style comedy from Guest, the director behind For Your Consideration and Best in Show, a rep for the network confirms.
The half-hour series, Family Tree, will star Bridesmaids actor Chris O’Dowd, as a recently jobless (and single!) 30-year-old who begins investigating his family lineage after receiving a mysterious box from a great aunt he never met. His research leads him to uncover a slew of unusual stories and characters, which in turn help him to establish a better sense of identity.
