Sociedade dos Maridos Mortos

you can be fooled by your first impressions. as in, initial reactions to a movie, for example. as in, the first time i saw this movie i was bedazzled by the idea of it (first of all, i love black comedies). could even - despite being male, myself - empathise with the feisty girls' fervor to see their husbands deceased without delay. was tripped up by my own face-value (and, i do mean "face-value") response to nicolette sheridan and a couple of the other delicious dames in the picture. it just goes to show you that you've gotta step back from a situation sometimes and see that it's bad (and not "bad good," either): the reason i'm giving this movie a "4" rating is because of ms sheridan and her gams (the rest of 'er is pretty good, too); but this movie has all the hallmark TV movie characteristics - which means you'll be disappointed if your a lover of movies made for the big screen. the story contains plot holes you could run a tunnel through - and i'll generally overlook holes in a plot if the overall thing does it for me; and i just experienced an incredible letdown the second time i saw it. i don't think it's a total waste of time, but....

John Ritter turns in a fine performance (once again) as a self-help author/physician who decides to give up big city living to the horror of his formerly trailer-dwelling wife (Nicolette Sheridan).She decides to be, well, proactive in regard to the situation. The movie was clever and well-plotted, keeping in mind that John Ritter elevates each production he is in by at least three notches.

I don't understand why I'm unable to find this movie for purchase anywhere!! It's like it was "scrubbed" from existence.

I would love a link to watch/purchase, if anybody has one.

DEAD HUSBANDS is a somewhat silly comedy about a bunch of wives conspiring to bump off each others husbands`. It`s by no means embarrassingly bad like some comedies I could mention but it never fufils its potential . Imagine how good this could have been if we had the Farrelly brothers directing Ben Stiller in the role of Carter Elson .

Oh is Carter based on Jerry Springer ? Just curious because the catch phrase on Dr Elson`s show is " look after each other and keep talking "

This movie has some funny moments in it, especially the murder scenes, which strive to be comical. The supporting characters are the only ones worth watching here, as John Ritter just looks befuddled and pained the entire movie, and Sheridan delivers the most awful performance I have seen in a long time. Overall, the premise is cute but the implementation could have been a lot better.
