TdSmth5 Some loser former used car salesman and his dumb gravedigger friend decide to work for some mobster/strip joint owner. Their first job is to drive a truck with cigarette boxes across the border. They make a quick stop and the truck blows up. Now they owe the mobster.To get the money they come up with the brilliant idea to dig up the corpse of a rich lady that died recently, in the hopes of stealing an expensive necklace. They dig her up to find no necklace. When a fellow cemetery employee shows up they decide to take the corpse with them to the house of the mom of one of them.The loser figures a plan to kidnap the corpse for ransom and try to get money from the rich husband. In the process they learn more about the dead woman's past and discover some mysteries all the while the mobster is trying to get his money back.As with all comedies, the story is intricate and the movie has some heart despite the bizarre circumstances. The goofs are likable enough. The women are gorgeous, in particular Melissa Keller and Audrey Marie Anderson. A somewhat unrecognizable Amber Heard is in this movie, too. Unfortunately, the movie makes no good use of the beautiful women. And they can't save this comedy. A raunchy comedy, even if black, should be, well, raunchy and funny. But this movie fails miserably on both counts.
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.
deadsenator Well, not much to be had here. Jason Lee is fine and Glover shines in the way he can, but you have to listen closely as many of his lines are muttered. But this is as his character should be, so his performance is to a tee. Fun with Glover here. Lee - not as much, but no complaints. His slicked-back hair is especially nice. The story was simple enough and apropos for our cast of characters, but this film doesn't rise up and stand too awfully tall. An assortment of morbid jokes lead the lot, but the film comes up with enough small jokes to keep things mildly interesting. See it if it's on, but don't lose any sleep over seeing it. Not much more. - 5 of 10
mortal_kombat8_kabal This film is definitely not for the faint of heart because it goes into some necrophiliac moments. A few people walked out on the film because of the material, but it was all in good fun. Although Jason Lee and Crispin Glover couldn't make it to the premier it was still an experience i will remember. This movie has it's really laugh out loud moments and also it's really stupid pen dropping scenes. But overall, i enjoyed it, this is a treat for Crispin glover fans because he does such a great job with his character that his lines really heighten the comedy. To conclude this comment, i just have to say this one is probably more of a rental. I'm giving it a 6.4 of ten. Only because i love all Jason Lee movies.
