Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Lucien Lessard Two best friends Frank (Jason Lee) and Eddie (Crispin Glover) wants to have their big break in their lives. Frank goes nowhere with his jobs, while Eddie makes an odd connection with the corpses for the graves he digs for the funerals. Frank gets paid $25,000 if he could transported $250,000 in merchandise to Mexico. Frank brings his friend along for the ride but the truck unexpectedly blows up along the way. Now Frank and Eddie have to come up with the situation to make $250,000 fast. Frank thinks the recently deceased woman named Crystal (Melissa Keller) could make them fast money. Since Eddie thinks she was buried with her jewelry. When Eddie dug up her body. There's no jewelry but Franks thinks that he and his buddy still could kidnapped her dead body for ransom! But they find themselves way over their head... when it comes to Crystal's husband (Xander Berkely), a sleazy gangster (Pruitt Taylor Vince), Frank's noisy mother (Lin Shaye) and the endless scams that Frank is trying to pull off.Directed by Michael Philip made an entertaining but wildly uneven black comedy gets comedic mileage from Lee's and Glover's performances. The film improves along the way with some clever plot twists and a few good funny sequences. This independent comedy is pretty good, it's really slow at first but it gets better... thanks to a lively cast.The Canadian DVD from VVS Films. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer. Although there's some digital image problems at times. DVD also has an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. There's no special features in this Canadian DVD. Fans of Lee's and Glover's will find this more enjoyable than others. But it's clever enough black comedy, you might find some amusement. Brad Dourif appears in a fine cameo. Worth a look. (*** 1/2 out of *****).

view_and_review When two dimwitted wannabe criminals try to make some fast money things don't go according to plan. It wasn't a barrel of laughs but it was amusing. The story was good and played out well. Crispin Glover was a perfect fit for the role of Eddie.Eddie was a slow, alcoholic, "subterrenean architect" with a strange sexual fascination with a dead woman. He was accompanied by the main character, Frank (Jason Lee), who wanted to try his hand at crime to make a quick buck. The two of them together still didn't equal one competent criminal, especially extortionists. Dumb luck helped the both of them get out of their jam.It was a fun movie, great for killing time. Although not great, it never got so bad that I felt the need to turn it off.

Claudio Carvalho The dumb loser Frank Muzzy (Jason Lee) invites his alcoholic friend and gravedigger Eddie (Crispin Glover) to raise some money bootlegging US$ 250,000.00 in cigarettes for the powerful mobster Spider (Pruitt Taylor Vince) to Mexico. However, their truck catches fire and they lose the load. Frank becomes desperate to raise the amount, and hides himself with Eddie in the house of his mother. When Frank sees in the newspaper the picture of Crystal Harkness (Melissa Keller), the wife of the tycoon Harkness (Xander Berkeley), Eddie confirms that she was a former strip dancer and buried with a valuable necklace. Frank forces Eddie to exhume her body, but they do not find the jewel. Frank brings Crystal's corpse to his hideout and decides to ask a ransom to Harkness getting into a deeper trouble, while Eddie falls in love for Crystal."Drop Dead Sexy" is a silly, but very funny black comedy. The situation with a dead body made me recall "Weekend at Bernie's", but the jokes with the sexy Melissa Keller are different, with eroticism and even necrophilia. Crispin Glover is responsible for the best and funniest moments in this entertaining movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Sexy de Morrer" ("Sexy to Die")

wrlang Drop Dead Sexy is one of those necrophilia type of movies that I often wonder why people make them. While it was done in reasonably good taste, it's still an uncomfortable theme for most people. I passed by it until there was really nothing new at the video store before I picked it up. No where near as funny as Bernie, but not terrible. There were no real special effects and the riga mortise was conspicuously absent from the body. Two dorky guys trying to save their lives from a local mafia style boss dig up a dead girl and hold her for ransom. They find that their boss, the dead girl's husband, and the dead girl are all interrelated to their predicament. Good acting takes a not too worn out story line and makes it work a little above average.
