sean patrick flannery i love him.... BUT, 2003-10-31
So there i was surfing the net... listening to suicide kings in the background.... thinking... okay so i just won the Young Indian Jones trading card set... what ELSE should i get that has sean patrick flannery in it! A HA! here we go... a movie with BRITNEY MURPHY as well- SCORE! Well... i was sadly sadly... very disturbed that i paid this much money for a movie that sucked this badly.... if you like quirky black comedies... this movie is for you... but not for me! Sean patrick flannery drives around with his wifes skeleton... britney murphy causes her fiance to kill himself because she doesn't want to marry him.... it all just sucked... sean though... is still of course sexy sexy! and so is brtney murphy- but i think she looks better as a thin blond.. than a baby fat brunette....

Not much Jane, 2003-05-27
If your a Thomas Jane fan and trying to see all of his works I just want you to know he is only in this odd movie at the beginning for only about 10 minutes and it is a distrubing suicide scene and funeral scene. The rest of the movie is a dark comedy with some laughs, but overall depressing. You really have to like the main actors to like this movie. Would not recommend for young audiences.

A dark comedy I didn't expect, 2003-04-11
I only got this movie because the fabulous Brittany Murphy is in it. Otherwise, I never heard of it. The movie has some very funny scenes with the added touch of some tender moments. The only problem is the movie kind of gets carried away with itself at times and tends to get a bit too crude. But, Brittany Murphy has such screen presence and she plays another character that draws you in and makes you care what happens to her. She is truly magical. The other actors do a good job, to.pRKV

Wonderful movie, 2002-04-03
This movie is very clever and fun. Just about anyone would enjoy watching it. I don't know why it wasn't that popular, it was really good! That is why I give it 5 stars!!!

Sort of Ho Hum..., 2001-07-11
I will be honest with you. I rented this movie for one reason, and one reason only. pI'm addicted to Sean Patrick Flanery.pThere, I've said it. Granted, I had high hopes for this film, based on reviews I'd read, and the cast list. Kathy Najimy, Debbie Reynolds, and Michael Jeter have all been in films and/or television shows that I've enjoyed. I'd only seen Brittany Murphy once before and found her quite charming. Like I said, High Hopes...pSo, I sat down and started to watch this movie, described to me as a quirky, off-beat comedy... The comedy was way past quirky. It was more the dark, morbid sort. pI've noticed that Sean Patrick Flanery has a knack for doing films about unusual relationships that appear doomed from the beginning, but somehow find a way to work. This one was no exception. The romance between the title characters is improbable at best, but more accurately it's down right ridiculous. Actually, everything about this film was ridiculous...pOn the flip side of that coin, it makes no real attempts to take itself seriously, so it's not as hard to maintain your 'willing suspension of disbelief'.pThe pluses are: 1. Sean Patrick Flanery, as adorable, hopelessly romantic, and charming as ever 2. Debbie Reynolds... Just cause she's Debbie Reynolds 3. Brittany Murphy's wide-eyed expressions, pouts, and on-camera crying 4. Michael Jeter - he always cracks me up...pThe minuses are: 1. Ridiculous plot 2. Over the top antics (burying a character in his football uniform means a casket that's bigger than the hole, and so on) 3. The death of one character that was unnecessary 4. All around lack-luster storypOver all, I'd recommend this one as a no-brainer, or for a fan of any of the actors in the show... They all gave good performances. It's not their fault the plot wound up failing them...
