Drop Dead Roses

I had a great time at the Long Island showing of this flick, it was so funny. Great to see the cast and director out for the showing. dying to know when I can see this film again, and maybe this time get to talk to that pretty red-headed director.

A well done, entertaining and quirky comedy, but for me the most pleasant surprise was the leading turn taken by novice actor Eddie McGee.

He had an energy, enthusiasm and earnest freshness that really stood out, making his gruff character seem more charming. He makes you like his character, and carried himself remarkably well for someone whose sole acting exposure was winning a reality tv show. I hope to see more of him in the future, good work by the director in getting so much out of him in his first role!

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.

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?

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.
