AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
ShangLuda Admirable film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
TdSmth5 Some loser former used car salesman and his dumb gravedigger friend decide to work for some mobster/strip joint owner. Their first job is to drive a truck with cigarette boxes across the border. They make a quick stop and the truck blows up. Now they owe the mobster.To get the money they come up with the brilliant idea to dig up the corpse of a rich lady that died recently, in the hopes of stealing an expensive necklace. They dig her up to find no necklace. When a fellow cemetery employee shows up they decide to take the corpse with them to the house of the mom of one of them.The loser figures a plan to kidnap the corpse for ransom and try to get money from the rich husband. In the process they learn more about the dead woman's past and discover some mysteries all the while the mobster is trying to get his money back.As with all comedies, the story is intricate and the movie has some heart despite the bizarre circumstances. The goofs are likable enough. The women are gorgeous, in particular Melissa Keller and Audrey Marie Anderson. A somewhat unrecognizable Amber Heard is in this movie, too. Unfortunately, the movie makes no good use of the beautiful women. And they can't save this comedy. A raunchy comedy, even if black, should be, well, raunchy and funny. But this movie fails miserably on both counts.
merklekranz "Drop Dead Sexy" is a very well written, drop dead funny, black comedy. Crispin Glover steals the movie as Eddie, a gravedigger who obviously is proud of his work. On the surface a blackmail scheme that goes badly, but beneath the obvious are some treasured moments of very dark comedy. This is way beyond a "Weekend at Bernies" clone, more like a cross between "Mortuary Academy" and "Fargo". In other words, outrageous enough for instant "cult status". The character development is very good, and even the bad guys are likable. The script is tight, clever, and hilarious. Throw in ample nudity, a necrophilia subplot, and you have a film "Paul Bartel" would have been proud of. - MERK
Gayle Sanders I saw this film's world premiere at the SXSW film festival. I was really hoping for a fun, light buddy movie and some laughs. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Within the first 5 minutes of the film, I was bored. This film is just a thinly veiled excuse to show off naked strippers (so I guess some of you folks might actually like it.) Jason Lee was either playing the same slacker character from his Kevin Smith successes or he was just phoning it in.The saving grace, if there is one, was Crispin Glover's performance. He was pretty funny and believable as the witless buddy.The lead actress was very pretty...but she was dead most of the time. Not much latitude for seeing her acting abilities.
mortal_kombat8_kabal This film is definitely not for the faint of heart because it goes into some necrophiliac moments. A few people walked out on the film because of the material, but it was all in good fun. Although Jason Lee and Crispin Glover couldn't make it to the premier it was still an experience i will remember. This movie has it's really laugh out loud moments and also it's really stupid pen dropping scenes. But overall, i enjoyed it, this is a treat for Crispin glover fans because he does such a great job with his character that his lines really heighten the comedy. To conclude this comment, i just have to say this one is probably more of a rental. I'm giving it a 6.4 of ten. Only because i love all Jason Lee movies.
