Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that puts the 'fun' in 'dysfunctional'" (Toronto Sun). The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of "Grandma Peggy," who died after tripping over her lover's wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding, big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking, the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing "Brother Boy" - and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)

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

Awwwwww. Quirky, over the top, but everyone is having so much fun that I have fun. Watch this, buy the DVD, get the soundtrack, and sing along. I love this movie. I was lucky enough to go to the premiere in LA as well as the DVD release, and the cast was so appreciative.

Well, since the movie came before the series, I thought it would be as good as the series.WRONG. I thought the movie was going to be just as funny as what I had seen on TV.
The acting wasn't that great which is kind of odd because a lot of the characters in the movie are in the series. I thought I would have considering the TV show is, but oh well.
The series is freakin' hilarious.
The scenes ran way too long and there really wasn't that much that I found funny. Anyways.you'll definately find the series more hiliarious.
Ok.so my first shot at watching Sordid Lives was the TV series that has been airing on Logo. I guess over the years they've gotten better.
