    What a hidden treasure! I had never heard of it before either. Of course Steve Buscemi was the main reason attracting me to it but he wasnt the only person who "made" the movie .
    Miriam Margolyes was amazing in this role. I think the best Ive ever seen her in.
    It was...( read more) very nice to also catch a glimpse at a young Uncle Rico.There were some pretty rad quotes throgh out the movie.

    "That's when I take a stand. That's when I'm counted as a man! That's when I throw my balls up over my shoulder and charge into the fire!

    A crazy movie about a son who lost his mother. He makes a deal with a salesman to resurrect his mother but the mother turns out quite different than they expected.

    Positively hillarious.

    Kinda silly zombie movie. Ned Beatty was a nice surprise in this movie as the straight man in this comedy. Must see if youre a steve buscemi fan, but otherwise theres just a few laughs here and there.

    Pretty humorous independent film. The story is stupid but its suppsoed to be.

    This is a fun little independent flick made back in the early 90's when Steve Buscemi was in virtually every film on video store shelves.

    Ed misses his recently deceased mother, and when he's offered a chance to have her back, he accepts the offer without really considering the ...( read more)consequences.

    Fun, quirky stuff.

    enjoyable this, steve bushimi in a early 90s film and a main role which is always great to see. bushimi plays a mammys boy, after her death he misses her dearly, out of the blue a stranger offers him a chance to bring her back for a price, but like all things shes not the same an...( read more)d danger looms, was it a big mistake bringing her back, very light hearted, not really dark considering subject, it could have been a lot darker, but it plays along nicely, doesent take it self seriously, quite sweet in places and not gory, bushimi is charminmg even if playing a dull but soppy charactor, but give bushimi something, he always delivers
