Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely the worst movie.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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.

This is a great movie for fans of "My Name is Earl"... Jason Lee plays the same sort of half-witted hustler as he does in "Earl," but edgier and less saccharine (you can't have a weekly TV show about a REAL hustler, even a half-wit, because eventually all REAL half-wit hustlers wind up like the protagonists of "In Cold Blood" or "Of Mice and Men," and innocent folks get killed - terrible for your ratings on a weekly basis).But Jason Lee's and Crispin Glover's characters aren't homicidal killers; which is to say they're not the same sort of guys who murdered the Clutter family in Kansas in "In Cold Blood," or the boss's wife in "Of Mice and Men." When they kill, it's pretty well justified, so you wind up sympathetic with the protagonists. It's a fun ride. Without spoiling the movie more than the cover art or IMDb synopsis do, I can tell you that Lee and Glover's characters get into a blackmail and kidnap caper that leaves them with a beautiful blonde corpse on their hands. Glover's infatuation with her is stronger than death, so they wind up in a even more twisted, trailer trash version of "Weekend with Bernie" in which the delectable corpse just never gets a chance to rest in peace.The producers of this film brought the production values required to make this not a guilty pleasure - along with the great performances of the cast. Crispin Glover and Jason Lee play off of each other with great comedic timing and synergy. The camera cuts are great as is the score - that part of the movie is done with "X-Files" flair and quirkiness. Xander Berkeley plays his standard poker-faced bad-ass, while Lin Shaye convulsed me with laughter as the profane "Ma Muzzy."Not a movie for the squeamish, "Drop Dead Sexy" is still a great comedy - a very, very dark comedy, but a great comedy, none the less.

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.

This movie will be great for the college market. I just attend the world premiere last night and had a great time. I normally don't laugh out loud while watching a movie unless it is Dumb and Dumber. But I found myself laughing out loud a lot. The quote that I heard the most after watching this film is "Wow, that was really funny. I didn't think it would be that funny." Jason Lee controls the laughs with his comic timing. Normally spooky Crispin Glover, offers a shockingly funny performance. Drop Dead Sexy shows what can be made on an independent budget with a great cast and good writing. Film schools teach that making an independent film like this is possible but seldom is done. I would suggest that any college student to go see this movie.
