Drop Dead Roses

Julia was one of the most evil villains I've ever seen in a movie. The character was very well written and wonderfully acted. The dialogue flowed nicely and all the characters felt like real people. I found myself during the movie going, "I know someone like that", a lot. the other thing that I found refreshing was that all the actors looked like real people... people that I can relate to. very pretty, real looking girls, with out being "model types" (which I find to be unattractive myself, I'd always pick the pretty, real people). and the boys, also very handsome, but real. I was impressed with the casting and the way that the director obviously knew how to handle the actors. I'd be interested in seeing this little Canadian gem again.

Shawn and Jason own a business that delivers dead flowers, spoiled chocolates, and bad news messages to unsuspecting victims. If your boss has done you wrong, someone owes you money, or you wish to break someone's heart in two, call these guys. However, Shawn delivers dead flowers one day to a beautiful girl he met once in a pub. Her boyfriend's message is that they are through and he is now sleeping with another woman. Kayla is crushed. Yet, Shawn can not resist hitting on her, even when tears are falling. Is this the beginning of a beautiful relationship? And what about her psycho roomie? This script has so much promise, it truly does. The stars are comely and believable, with nice comic skills. BUT, the leading males visit strip clubs and the sexual situations are of the in-your-face variety. Please do not watch this film if you can not fast forward quickly enough or if your ethics would be mortally wounded. Even so, here's hoping someone will make a kindler, gentler, cleaner version of the movie. This one has its sweet moments, but the its walk on the wild side goes way overboard.

If you actually have the time to find this movie, don't. The movie really wasn't that bad. It actually has some genuinely great moments. However, it seems that the director lost control of the film somewhere in the middle. The acting was decent (Eddie does a fine job for what I'm guessing is a first timer), however all the comedic moments are wasted because of a hack editing job.

Did the director's little brother edit this?

Ugh, this movie stunk. It's very derivative of Kevin Smith characters -- you know retail clerks passing the time talking about comics, Star Wars, chicks and life in general. The only difference here is that the characters are extremely weak, the plot sucks and they own the store and they don't mention ALL the tired Kevin Smith clichés (dying mid-backstroke, chick doing a dead guy in the back room, etc, ad nauseum).

I originally thought that Kevin Smith ghost-wrote/directed/etc this movie and I theorized that he was too embarrassed to put his name on it, but I can't find any evidence of that.

This is low budget film-making at its lowest. Little creativity and flat characters. Simply awful. 1/10

Saw this film in san fran... loved it. watched this film was at the underground festival, but it shouldn't be underground, this is a film that I would go and see in major theatres. I'm surprised that it hasn't been picked up by distribution companies yet, it's a gold mine. They've got a diverse cast with real people... that look like real people which I appreciated the most... I related to almost all the characters and felt for them. The director did a great job at making me care for everyone in the film, she's got a real talent and I won't be surprised if I see her as the next up and coming hot director. good work.
