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

 A Lot Like The TV Series December 16, 2008
J. Levy (Florida)
This dvd came out years before the television series came out. Many of the actors in the dvd version played their same character roles in the television series.
While I enjoyed this dvd is was quite long and really needed some kind of introduction at the beginning for those who never saw the television series; it just starts "right in" so to speak. I had hoped for some background in the dvd version to better help me understand it all but there wasn't any.
If you like the tv series version, you will like this. It's basically more of the same!
 Everyone should own this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 14, 2008
D. DINGUS
I have been watching the series on the LOGO channel and decided to see if I could find the orginal movie. I looked all over at the retail stores, but with no success. I ordered and within 3 days it was on my doorstep. the quality is great and I just wish they would come out with a part 2. It is always good to see Delta Burke in anything.....
Great ... Hilarious ... Campy November 27, 2008
