Nothing special...rather dumb!


Not really a good movie. First of all it's rather dumb and totally overdone and then it's not even funny. It's not crap...but just not entertaining. Only watch this if you're really bored. One hot chick in it though :-)!

I thought it was hilarious. I can't understand why someone wouldn't think it was funny. It is my favorite movie.

I thought it was hilarious, a great movie! One of the best comedies.

i saw it a while ago...but remembered it..
precious movie in all its simplicity...want it on DVD !

Nah, it's great. The dumbness is entirely intentional, as far as I could tell.

Seen it once and found it quite funny. Was it one of the best movies I've ever seen, far from it, but it WAS funny and yeah, quite gooofy, but like Kr0nz said, and I agree, "The dumbness is entirely intentional, as far as I could tell." and really, what the hell is wrong with dumbness if it's done right?

We must have a different definition of "dumb", or you more than likely missed the point of the movie entirely.

I didn't really laugh out loud, but I was entertained like you wouldn't believe. Very smart plot, and very creative. An original!

It certainly deserved to make more than $1,000 in the box office.

pretty good movie. nothing special, but certainly not bad. It had some great moments.

You wouldn't know funny if it had on a clown suit and squirted acid in your face.

Lol. The OP is probably still stuck on frat boy humor, so he'll never get a film like this.


I really like this offbeat comedy though. I get sick of the same old stupid gag jokes in many recent comedies. Ed And His Dead Mother is very original and refreshing.

I disagree. I found this film quite funny in its deceptively low-key quirkiness.
