Description:
Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that puts the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'" (Toronto Sun). 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" - and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)
Amazon.com:
If you've got a taste for big hair, broad Texas accents, and gay rights, this mixture of white-trash comedy and coming-out melodrama is for you. Sordid Lives starts out as chicken-fried farce, as a funeral is prepared for a woman who died when she tripped over her adulterous lover's wooden legs; about midway the emphasis shifts to a drag queen unfairly held in a mental institution and the dead woman's grandson, an actor in Los Angeles who hasn't come out to his mother. The tone shifts wildly, and the humor depends on your fondness for the white-trash genre--if you like it, this will tickle your ribs; if you don't, it'll fall flat as the panhandle landscape. But it must be said that the cast (including Bonnie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, and Olivia Newton-John) dives right in, no matter how over-the-top their characters get. --Bret Fetzer

This movie (as well as the series) is one of the funniest movies I have seen. Their charicature of the people in this small community is hilarious.....if you have ever watched an episode of Jerry Springer and cringed....this film is a must. If you look behind the humor, you will see very valid issues.

This dvd came out years before the television series came out. Many of the actors in the dvd version played their same character roles in the television series.
While I enjoyed this dvd is was quite long and really needed some kind of introduction at the beginning for those who never saw the television series; it just starts "right in" so to speak. I had hoped for some background in the dvd version to better help me understand it all but there wasn't any.
If you like the tv series version, you will like this. It's basically more of the same!

I have been watching the series on the LOGO channel and decided to see if I could find the orginal movie. I looked all over at the retail stores, but with no success. I ordered and within 3 days it was on my doorstep. the quality is great and I just wish they would come out with a part 2. It is always good to see Delta Burke in anything.....
