Customer Reviews of Die Mommie Die!
How Awful About Angela When I saw this as a play at the Coast theater in West Hollywood, I thought I would split my sides. Charles Busch could make walking across the room a laugh riot. I was a little leery of seeing the movie, fearing that in opening the play out with real locations, some of the fun would be gone.
I had nothing to fear. This movie is hilarious, thanks in great part to Charles Busch's matchless portrayal of has-been "America's Nightengale" Angela Arden. Combining every Diva ever to grace the screen, and frosting her with his own devilish gleam, Busch is a hoot in this from beginning to end. An able supporting cast includes Phillip Baker Hall as the nasty husband who won't give Angela up, Stark Sands her belle-of-the-math-department son, Natasha Lyonne as her "heart belongs to daddy" daughter, Frances Conroy as the booze-swilling maid and, hilariously, Jason Priestly as the gigolo with a secret, who's willing to bed everybody in Beverly Hills to find out what he wants to know. I'm not going to give anymore away (although you have seen it all before); this movie is in limited release under the Sundance Film series. Not nearly as arch or arcane as some reviewers would have you believe, it's worth a trip out of your way to see it.
Busch is Absolutely Fabulous!!!!
The film Die Mommie Die has been on my list to own since seeing it twice in the theatres. Charles Busch leads a star studded cast to perfection in this hilarious parody and a loving remake of the1940's to 1960's women's pictures.
Angela Arden (Busch) an ex pop diva from the fifties, has lost her ability to sing as she once did and her abusive husband Sol Sussman (Phillip Baker Hall) tries to tame this temptress after finding out about her affair with the notorious gigolo Tony Parker (Jason Priestley). After his death, due to a poisoned suppository; His daughter Edith (Natasha Lyonne), son Lance (Stark Sands), and loyal maid Bootsie Carp (Frances Conroy) all begin to suspect Angela.
Everyone's presence on screen is a delight, from Charles Busch whom lights up the screen from the opening act to Frances Conroy's meddling as the maid.
Jason Priestley proves once again that he has a presence on the screen and in Hollywood as he takes on the whole family to try and find out what is Angela's dirty little secret.
As always Natasha Lyonne performs in top form as daddy's little girl and Stark Sands proves he has the talent to make it in this dirty town.
I highly recommend and plea that anyone who might be interested in this to purchase it as you will not regret owning this great and truly hilarious film.
Charles Busch is a genius.
Campy tale of twin sisters, one good one bad. Played very convincingly by renouned female impersonator Charles Busch. He has a love for classic film noir and it shows through during this movie. Somehow I got the feeling that this could have been a bigger masterpiece than it was, but I am sure that budget and time constraints on the stars played into some of the holes in the plot. All in all a wonderful trip to yesteryear when films were suspensful and delightfully full of surprizes. I highly recommend this film, it is a wonderful trip down memory lane.
