Customer Reviews

Undertaker humor
This is a cross between a fun-loving NATIONAL LAMPOON party flick and a black comedy. I'm still un-decided exactly where it fits in between the two. The story is certainly an interesting concept, albeit creepy. Melissa Keller is certainly sexy and the few sequences where she is "alive" are quite memorable. However, these scenes could have been done better, if you ask me.

If you're into comedies about people who brush up against the mob (or mobster-like characters), this one might be worth a watch. If you have a morbid sense of humor this one might also be worth checking out.

Jason Lee, what are you doing in this piece of crap?
A friend recommended this movie to me, but I can't say the same. The online reviews kind of make it out to be a black comedy like 'Fargo' (did these people even see that movie??). But it's really just a poorly written/directed rip-off of 'Weekend At Bernies'. Turned it off after a half-hour.

If you like Crispin Glover and/or Jason Lee
So you're a big fan of Crispin Glover, especially in his wilder and more eccentric roles. And you like Jason Lee.

But... this sounds like it could be a really dumb, banal comedy. And the reviews aren't so hot. So should you bother with it?

That's what I was mulling over before I finally bit the bullet and rented it. And I'm glad I did.

First and foremost, Glover and Lee are fantastic. They carry the movie. They're in top form here, and they create two wonderful bozo characters.

There is some very funny material, and some great, even classic, lines. I laughed out loud several times. And the story zips right along, doesn't get tedious or slow.

Having said that, it's a pretty conventional, routine storyline, despite many detours into inspired craziness. And some of it is kinda dumb or obvious.

This isn't risky or edgy material. But it is fun, funny viewing, with outstanding weirdo performances by Glover and Lee.
