"Camp" at it's finest! This movie is a must see!!!!
Added 11/1/2009
Charles Busch, Angela Paton, Jason Priestley, Natasha Lyonne are SPECTACULAR in this film!!! The storyline is HILARIOUS and there is never a dull moment.
I have watched it probably 20+ times already and will never get tired of it!!!!! :) Also, much like "Mommie Dearest", "Girls Will Be Girls" and "Troop Beverly Hills" this flick has LOADS of FABULOUS one-liners that will make you the "STAR OF THE PARTY!" (much like Angela always was!) LOL

Walks Like a Duck? Looks Like a Duck? It Must Be a High Camp Drag!!!

The attention to detail is only surpassed by the hysterical talents of all those performing in front of the camera... and behind too!!!
There is a plot, but who cares... The entertainment quota alone gives the film a galaxy of stars.
Not just a "Drag" Movie. Oh no, it's a "High Camp Impersionalization Showcase" mimicing the 1950's-1960's style of presenting a story and the Actors in their most becoming light, usually tinged with an aura of glamour, mystery, double entandre (if not triple) and a few good-looking pieces of "eye candy."
Oh Charles, you've done it again!

This was a really fun movie and one I can highly recommend. Charles Busch is fantastic as the lead and is quite accomplished as a drag queen.

Added 4/25/2009
this product was ordered for a friends birthday and paid for I recieved noticed 3weeks later that they were redepositing my money nothing back yet in my debit account, no movie I m rating amazon . com as poor service this should have been done so that if you didnt have it I should have ben notified 3 or 4 days later that you didnt have it. I very disappointed in Amazons service I ordered two movies on the 24 th of March bothe cleared and only recieved one movie Brigadoon, Die Momie Die did not show up. It should have been here and the money has not been returned to my debit checking account. Im still waite for the money to be credited to my account. Makes me distrust Amazons service a little more.

If you want to watch a movie and forget the problems in the world like the economy or the wars, watch "Die Mommie Die", a campy and funny film based on the kind of movies Bette Davis and Joan Crawford did back in the '50's and '60s. Playwright Charles Busch, who also wrote the screenplay, stars in this little independent feature as a woman caught in a loveless marriage with an older man. They have 2 children, a spoiled, rotten girl, who is the apple of her father's eye who hates her mother with a passion, and a good-looking son, dealing with his sexuality. This plot reminds me of the early days of "Dynasty" and the Carrington clan. Angela Arden, the Busch character, is trying to reinvent her career as a singer, much to her husband's chagrin. He eventually dies a mysterious death, in which we, as the audience, try to discover who performed the deed. None of this is takin' seriously, as the movie is more a comedy. There are some fantastic one-liners, and Charles Busch would make Joan Crawford proud. I also must add Mr. Busch looks fabulous in drag, and there were many times I had to remind myself that it was actually a man playing the female lead. The cast is first rate with hunky Jason Priestley playing Angela's one-time lover, who sleeps with both her daugter and son!
The DVD has many bonuses including commentary by the cast, trailers, the Sundance Channel's "Anatomy of a Scene", featuring the making of the film, screen tests, a deleted scene, and a video with Charles Busch, as Angela, performing the song "Why Not Me?', plus much more.
Mr. Busch also received the Special Jury Prize in 2003 for Oustanding Performance from the Sundance Film Festival. "The Washington Posts" says, the movie..."succeeds with a big, false-eyelashed wink".
