My Dead Boyfriend

Great movie! A very light-heart dark comedy! I saw with my family and we all laughed a lot. I would never read again a critic who has give a bad note to a movie like this! Though, the first forty five minutes are clearly funnier than the last forty five minutes. The actors are good. Very few scenes are easily to predict an this help to spark the fun in this hilarious film.

It's pre-2000 NYC. Mary McCrawley (Heather Graham) gets fired from her temp job. She comes home to find her loser temp boyfriend Primo Schultz (John Corbett) dead in front of the TV. She's left with his dog. It's a long line of loser temp boyfriends. Zoe (Katherine Moennig) is her best friend. She's mildly taken with Joey Lucas (Griffin Dunne)'s credit card. Helene (Gina Gershon) tells her about Primo who seems to be completely different than the loser that she knew. Howard (Scott Michael Foster) inspires her to write about him and enter into a contest. She finds his baby mamma Sue Watt and joins her band.

I love Graham but she's not a lead comedian type. She's more of a straight man who can do odd deadpan. I can't tell if the material is actually funny but the movie isn't. It's mildly quirky at best. This character would be cute as a twenty something slacker. As a thirty something, it's no longer cute. I don't hate this except for its weak attempts at being funny.

I don't think the producers of this movie thought this was a great movie themselves but the effort they put into it was just fine. Everybody who was giving this a bad reviews just being too hyper critical . The writing is excellent

As others have outlined, this is a story about an underachiever who gets fired from her temp job and comes home to find her boyfriend, Primo, sitting dead in front of the TV. She starts to learn about a colorful secret life that he had while with her and before meeting her.

The premise is interesting, but there is some unevenness to the delivery and unfortunately Heather Graham's delivery of lines is even worse. There is an attempt at dark comedy, but it is not subtle. That said, her adventure in discovering Primo's past via a diverse selection of his friends and family is watchable, especially since it is set in New York.

A lighthearted comedy about a young girl discovering the very colorful past of her so-so dead boyfriend. Everything about this movie is fun and funny! It's not a big belly laugh comedy but the script and the acting keep the pace in a semi dark comedy mood. My Dead Boyfriend is about a girl discovering way too much about the deceased boyfriend he totes around in a cremation urn everywhere she goes! Heather Graham gives a top drawer performance as 'the girlfriend' pursuing the boyfriends past.

There is not too much I can say about this movie other than it is great fun and each actor shines in their role. I suggest if you see this movie by all means give it a watch and you will enjoy.
