I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

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")

This is a great little find.I'll admit that the only reason I watched the film is for Crispin Glover, and he doesn't disappoint! What I thought, at first, was a cheesy southern accent, turned out to be quite consistent and very believable. His low-key performance, coupled with spot-on dialogue, made this one of his best roles to date! People tend to forget that he's got great comedic timing.Jason Lee and Pruitt Taylor Vince were also enjoyable, but the character of Tiny stole the show near the end for me. His awkward scene with Crispin's character Eddie in th back of the car...let's just say no wonder Eddie needed a drink after that.Fun flick with good writing and wonderful performances that had me giggling all the way through.

Saw film at its Austin premier. Expected comedy but 'Drop Dead Sexy' exceeded my expectations. I usually stifle my giggles and snorts of enjoyment in darkened theaters. However, like most of the audience, I too let loose and chuckled away! The characters all worked in hilarious harmony. Individually each held a scene on their own. Great casting! The writing was also superb. Lee and Glover were a perfect bungling duo. Keller's drop dead role was carried off without her ever speaking a line. Shaye's portrayal as a mother figure was a scream ~ right down to her beaver. Vince and Reitman earned my respect as bungling bad guys that heightened the over all humor. To say that I liked this movie is an understatement. Like last year's independent film, 'Sideways', this little film should make it big. Especially when movie goers who enjoyed the likes of 'Fargo', 'One Night at McCools' and 'Raising Arizona' see it and spread the word. Great job cast and crew.

The last thing we need is another film about a heist gone wrong from amateur criminals that try too hard to make us laugh. The Coen Brothers have exhausted the quirky criminal element, and quite frankly they're a force one shouldn't try to live up to, which is what this film does. It tries to be a lot of things, but comes up short in so many ways I'm thinking about creating my own website dedicated to criticizing this film. I got a copy from the same team who made the pathetic and silly film "Pendulum," and I must say I saw very little signs of improvement. Jason Lee can't act, and he never could, and Crispin Glover, well, he's Crispin Glover and so what. The novelty of his persona has run so thin I predict he'll be appearing in the center box of Hollywood Squares by the end of this year, and that's only if he's lucky. If you stay away from any film this year, please, let it be this one.
