Sordid Lives

This movie was done with a very small budget with tons of laughs. It stars Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, Bonnie Bedelia and Leslie Jordan. The movie is about a family of rednecks that is planning their mother’s funeral. The laughs are continuous as they argue their way through.

This movie has a classic cult following here in the south as most of the things are so redneck but we all have family members just like them. I bet if any of you watch the movie you will be placing your own family members in the actors roles.

Here is what the DVD jacket says of the movie:

The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of “Grandma Peggy,” who died after tripping over her lover’s wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding, big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking, the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing “Brother Boy” (Leslie Jordan) – and you’ve got an outrageous “train wreck you can’t help but watch!”

I give it a 4 out of 5 for it’s slap stick comedy.
