Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

vfrickey This is a great movie for fans of "My Name is Earl"... Jason Lee plays the same sort of half-witted hustler as he does in "Earl," but edgier and less saccharine (you can't have a weekly TV show about a REAL hustler, even a half-wit, because eventually all REAL half-wit hustlers wind up like the protagonists of "In Cold Blood" or "Of Mice and Men," and innocent folks get killed - terrible for your ratings on a weekly basis).But Jason Lee's and Crispin Glover's characters aren't homicidal killers; which is to say they're not the same sort of guys who murdered the Clutter family in Kansas in "In Cold Blood," or the boss's wife in "Of Mice and Men." When they kill, it's pretty well justified, so you wind up sympathetic with the protagonists. It's a fun ride. Without spoiling the movie more than the cover art or IMDb synopsis do, I can tell you that Lee and Glover's characters get into a blackmail and kidnap caper that leaves them with a beautiful blonde corpse on their hands. Glover's infatuation with her is stronger than death, so they wind up in a even more twisted, trailer trash version of "Weekend with Bernie" in which the delectable corpse just never gets a chance to rest in peace.The producers of this film brought the production values required to make this not a guilty pleasure - along with the great performances of the cast. Crispin Glover and Jason Lee play off of each other with great comedic timing and synergy. The camera cuts are great as is the score - that part of the movie is done with "X-Files" flair and quirkiness. Xander Berkeley plays his standard poker-faced bad-ass, while Lin Shaye convulsed me with laughter as the profane "Ma Muzzy."Not a movie for the squeamish, "Drop Dead Sexy" is still a great comedy - a very, very dark comedy, but a great comedy, none the less.

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.

marti-24 Saw film at its Austin premier. Expected comedy but 'Drop Dead Sexy' exceeded my expectations. I usually stifle my giggles and snorts of enjoyment in darkened theaters. However, like most of the audience, I too let loose and chuckled away! The characters all worked in hilarious harmony. Individually each held a scene on their own. Great casting! The writing was also superb. Lee and Glover were a perfect bungling duo. Keller's drop dead role was carried off without her ever speaking a line. Shaye's portrayal as a mother figure was a scream ~ right down to her beaver. Vince and Reitman earned my respect as bungling bad guys that heightened the over all humor. To say that I liked this movie is an understatement. Like last year's independent film, 'Sideways', this little film should make it big. Especially when movie goers who enjoyed the likes of 'Fargo', 'One Night at McCools' and 'Raising Arizona' see it and spread the word. Great job cast and crew.
