I loved this DVD from the first viewing and have truly enjoyed sharing it with friends. I have bought several copies to share as gifts. A terrific addition to the history of comedy!

DVD Review: A black comedy about white trash
Summary: 5 Stars

Thats the tag line for the movie. This a movie you will want to watch with your friends again and again, with one liners you'll be constantly repeating. Everytime i see a rubber band now, it makes me giggle.

DVD Review: SEEN IT 10 TIMES BEFORE...CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT 100 MORE TIMES!
Summary: 5 Stars

AND...I'm still waiting to see it...AGAIN! Dvd Legacy never shipped it! Nor has this company ever responded to my e-mails! Amazon did refund my $...but that was after waiting for a very looooooooooong shipment window. Yes...I want this movie which I rank as one of the best comedies...EVER...but I'm a little Leary to try again to order from another company. Dvd Legacy HAD a fantastic rating through Amazon! Can you understand why I am cautious?

DVD Review: Sordid Lives.. a MUST have in the household
Summary: 5 Stars

Not only is this one of the best movies put on the market, the series it's self is absolutly wonderful. Truly is a must have. This movie will not only make youo laugh but will keep you on the edge of your seat to see what is being said and or done and at the end you want more. simple as that.
It took me about a year to get this movie as I waited, i wished i had not waited but thats a differant story and now that I have the movie and CD i cannot get enough of this movie and i have made many purchases to pass this movie on to others.
I must Mention that Del Shores is an assest to Hollywood and deserves so much more when it comes to recogniton, just check out his website and you will see so many shows and movies he has been involved in, one may be suprised.

Description of Sordid Lives

Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that puts the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'" (Toronto Sun). The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of "Grandma Peggy," who died after tripping over her lover's wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding, big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking, the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing "Brother Boy" - and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)

If you've got a taste for big hair, broad Texas accents, and gay rights, this mixture of white-trash comedy and coming-out melodrama is for you. Sordid Lives starts out as chicken-fried farce, as a funeral is prepared for a woman who died when she tripped over her adulterous lover's wooden legs; about midway the emphasis shifts to a drag queen unfairly held in a mental institution and the dead woman's grandson, an actor in Los Angeles who hasn't come out to his mother. The tone shifts wildly, and the humor depends on your fondness for the white-trash genre--if you like it, this will tickle your ribs; if you don't, it'll fall flat as the panhandle landscape. But it must be said that the cast (including Bonnie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, and Olivia Newton-John) dives right in, no matter how over-the-top their characters get. --Bret Fetzer
