Ed, I like to grease the highboard better than anyone and if it was just four or five guys, I'd have no problem with that, but when I come home and find her doing the two-back beast with the entire church council, well by God, that's going too far - especially since half the council is women! 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!

Ed and His Dead Mother

A Very Odd Comedy... or Horror... or Something

Ed (Steve Buscemi) loves his mother, but she&apos;s been dead for a year. When the Happy People Corporation gives him the chance to bring her back from the dead, he readily agrees. Also, we have a romantic subplot and a story of a man who just got out of prison (who I think is played by the same guy who played Uncle Rico and the Wolfman from &quot;Monster Squad&quot;).

Steve Buscemi has never steered me wrong, and putting him in a lead role was brilliant on someone&apos;s part (he too often ends up forgotten in the background). This is one of his best roles, right up there with his part in &quot;Ghost World&quot;. Buscemi knows comedy, and now it seems we can safely say he can even do romance (who would have thought?).

The comedy here is of the dark kind you might find on &quot;Tales From the Crypt&quot; or &quot;Creepshow&quot;, with old women trying to eat dogs and the use of chainsaws and lawnmowers as weapons (has someone been watching &quot;Dead Alive&quot;?). People who love mainstream comedy (Ben Stiller fans) aren&apos;t going to love this, but those who like the stranger stuff will eat it up.

The salesman was great. I forget his name, but he looks like an old Ted Danson. He had a role that seemed like he should have been a newspaperman from &quot;Little Shop of Horrors&quot;, his style was right out of the Roger Corman playbook. And the beautiful woman next door (played by Sam Jenkins, whose name does not do her justice)... ravishing! Those outfits were a little strange (even for the early 1990s) but she made them work. Would you believe Buscemi could find a woman this attractive? Believe it! 

The gore was very minimal (even during a chainsaw scene) and the nudity was decent. The humor was the real selling point (if you don&apos;t find the opening courtroom scene funny, you may as well turn it off right then). But there was just something really great about this one, it was put together perfectly.

Fans of &quot;Dead Alive&quot; might like this one, as will fans of &quot;Little Shop of Horrors&quot;. I really think you&apos;ll appreciate the similarities. And if you need Buscemi like Britney needs panties, this should be on the top of your must-see list.
