Sordid Lives Overview

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)

Sordid Lives Specifications

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

Laugh out Loud - Janet S. Holloway - Lexington, KY, US
I've watched this movie at least half a dozen times and still laugh at the same things. It's a wonderful, laugh-out-loud movie...wonderful acting and hysterically funny.



Sordid wives - Tomlin Coggeshall - Maine
Just a very funny movie that's got a little of everything in it. Gay men will especially enjoy it but so will everyone else, it whacky and fun.



sordid lives dvd - Bart Malone - AL
Love the movie, had to have it. Arrived quickly and was just as described by seller.



bad sound - Thomas J. Williams - Memphis, TN
The movie is great the sound on it sucks. The sound and the mouths do not go together. It is like watching a bad Chinese fighting movie.
