Drop Dead Roses

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

Eddie Mc Gee is brilliant. Any scene with him is hilarious, his natural talent goes beyond his first hit, the tv show Big brother.

This low budget dark comedy contains very funny moments. Brian o'Halloran does a good job probing he is more than a Kevin Smith's creature. Chris Demantoupolus is another amazing discovery as the bad guy. A must see film.

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.

OK it has some hiccups, but this is fun. It rings true, Brian O'Halloran (Clerks) is GREAT. The film is funny and youthfully energized -it's good in that first time film-makler way. Fresh.

Wish it was longer in Cinemas. Not boring, really funny bits. Music track is often cool if a bit underground. I don't understand why there aren't more mainstream reviews of this picture.

What's more is this is a guy film by a female director writer. Just enough to give it some cool sensibilities. By the way Eddie McGee of Big Brother (the original) fame is really rather good, natural, and this Barbie has a lovely slutty edge -would like to see her in something else too..
