    A disappointing epilogue to another great cancelled-too-soon show. It's always a pleasant surprise when a show gets a posthumous chance to wrap things up or even just continue the story after its run has ended. But here they may have been better off letting things be.

    Two of...( read more) the five leads are missing - Sarah Wynter takes over as Daisy, but is a pale imitation of Laura Harris' version. Mandy Patinkin's Rube has simply been written out. Instead they introduce Cameron, played by "Lost"'s own Desmond, Henry Ian Cusick. So much potential here, but his character is barely present, never really explained, and is just a waste of viewers' time and Cusick's talent.

    The plot can't decide if it wants to simply be another episode of the show or something bigger, and spends its time waffling between the two, so it fails on both counts. It just barely touches on some larger issues and ideas, and then suddenly decides to wrap that up and get back to a simpler story.

    Still, I guess I'd rather see a less-than-stellar "Dead Like Me" than none at all. It was a fun show with an entertaining cast of characters. I only wish the movie could have stayed more in line with the original series' quality and writing.

    As a fan of the series, I was excited that we would finally have a little closure for these characters that I'd grown so fond of.

    While it was enjoyable to see them all again...there was just something missing (and not just Rube). It just didn't have the same feeling that the...( read more) series did and ultimately it just felt like a sad attempt to make a few bucks as opposed to an opportunity to "tie up some loose ends" for it's fans.

    not good at all - hated new daisy. no real plot to speak of. oh well.

    Not much to say about this movie really - just absolute and utter rubbish. There is no script, no noteworthy performances, no direction, no likable characters, no depth, no soundtrack, no anything to cling onto. I've never watched the TV series, but judging from the movie, I doub...( read more)t I ever will. Avoid in all occasions. Or waste 90 minutes of your life to a movie that lacks intelligence and appeal...and everything else for that matter.

    I wanted to love this, since I loved the show. While it was great to see all of the characters again, something was truly missing from the proceedings (and I don't just mean Mandy Patinkin). The magic was also diminished. Props to a game case for doing their best.

    This film better lead to a resurrection of the show, or atleast more movies.

    It left alot of questions to answer still.

    This was one of the greatest shows EVER!
    It would be really weird to see it without Mandy Patinkin, but I guess he has moved on...which sucks because he was so integral to the show which had the perfect make up.
    Damn, I am excited to see this though.
    I hope it portends the series return!
