Description
Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that puts the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'" (Toronto Sun). The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of "Grandma Peggy," who died after tripping over her lover's wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding, big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking, the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing "Brother Boy" - and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)
Amazon.com
If you've got a taste for big hair, broad Texas accents, and gay rights, this mixture of white-trash comedy and coming-out melodrama is for you. Sordid Lives starts out as chicken-fried farce, as a funeral is prepared for a woman who died when she tripped over her adulterous lover's wooden legs; about midway the emphasis shifts to a drag queen unfairly held in a mental institution and the dead woman's grandson, an actor in Los Angeles who hasn't come out to his mother. The tone shifts wildly, and the humor depends on your fondness for the white-trash genre--if you like it, this will tickle your ribs; if you don't, it'll fall flat as the panhandle landscape. But it must be said that the cast (including Bonnie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, and Olivia Newton-John) dives right in, no matter how over-the-top their characters get. --Bret Fetzer

 Sordid Funny! August 26, 2008
I knew by the title-Sordid Lives, and the trailer on the cover, this had to be a funny movie! We all know someone who resembles the characters in this film from the the in-the-closet son to the neurotic mother of the in-the-closet son. It's side splitting funny and Delta Burke puts in a fantastic performance of the put upon wife! It's a must see film!

The product was advertised as "new". It was clearly used. The seller provided refund.
As always Leslie Jordan is hilarious ! August 5, 2008
I have loved watching Leslie Jordan since before his "Will & Grace" days. This movie is so funny. I am from the South and actually know these people!!! Well, not these actual people, but people who act and talk exactly like the characters on this movie. Bonnie Bedelia gives a stunning performance as does Leslie Jordan. I really enjoyed this DVD and look forward to the TV series starring Jordan and the always fabulous Rue McClanahan. If you like "white trash" comedies written really well, this is the DVD for you. Del Shores has once again proven to be a comedy genius.
