DVD Reviews of Sordid Lives

DVD Review: bad sound
Summary: 3 Stars

The movie is great the sound on it sucks. The sound and the mouths do not go together. It is like watching a bad Chinese fighting movie.

DVD Review: Love it! Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the funniest movies about what happens in a family when a loved one dies-and when sexual prefrences are considered curable. It was a summer pick for our Book club.Lots of laughs

DVD Review: No Artwork!
Summary: 3 Stars

When the DVD arrived it had no artwork with it. Just the DVD in a clear plastic box. According to the package, this had been stated in the advertisment. I do not recall seeing this and I was disappointed. I am also concerned that this may therefore be a pirate copy, as I dont buy 'stolen goods'.

DVD Review: Fast and Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars

I would buy from them again and again. The movie is flawless (and for $2.99) and it came in the mail in three days!

DVD Review: There is nothing funnier!
Summary: 5 Stars

Everyone has a dysfunctional family, and this video is a perfect and very real depiction of life, at it's finest.

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
