Rating: Summary: Maybe it's funny if you're friends with the cast and crew? Review: I rented this film because I'm a huge Morrissey fan. I knew nothing about it, but was excited to check it out nonetheless. I am usually not one to write scathing reviews, but I must agree with the reviewer who stated that this was one of the worst movies he or she had ever seen... Very rarely funny, My Life With Morrissey is a mixture of stupid ideas, redundant jokes, bad camera work and poor movie making. While watching the film (and I did force myself to watch the whole thing) I kept thinking, "If this was a college film project and these were my friends, I would probably find it humorous... But I don't know these people, so it's just annoying." It's not that I'm some humorless Morrissey fan upset about the portrayal of Moz and his fans, it is just that the movie is simply not good. If you REALLY want to experience this movie, by all means rent it -- don't spend your hard earned dollars on it...
Rating: Summary: Lukewarm at Best Review: I saw this in a little theatre in Manhattan, hoping for a more polished, Morrissey-rich experience, but this was a pretty sub-par affair- and frankly it's annoying to see a film this poor with even decent distribution. Terrible camerawork and spotty acting over-all. Bad editing and annoying Cali pop-punk soundtrack, only saved by the presence of Quasi. I was really disappointed- when people put such little effort and inspiration into something, and they get support, one less person with a real vision gets heard. It was occasionally worth a laugh, but overall I found myself angry at the Gods for opening up the Pandora's box of indie films without keeping the hacks out. We have enough of those in Hollywood.
Rating: Summary: what a wild ride! Review: I saw this movie at a film festival in Sonoma. I was pleasantly shocked! I couldn't believe how many crazy things were happening, and it just kept getting crazier and crazier. From the beginning of the movie there is no way to prepare for the turn that the movie takes. The situations that the obsessed Moz fan gets herself into are both hilarious and disturbing. And all the supporting characters were wacky too. What kind of twisted mind made this flick? While it didn't leave me feeling warm and fuzzy, it definitely left me with a smile.
Rating: Summary: The WORST movie I have ever seen Review: I saw this movie in the theater about 4 weeks ago. It, by far, has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. The acting is bad. The plot is thin. (Hello!?! A lesbian rape scene?) It serves as the perfect "How to stalk Morrissey Guide." I suppose this film was supposed to be a farce. It fails miserably. I laughed at places where there was supposed to be no laughter. I just couldn't help thinking that Morrissey would absolutely cringe upon seeing this film. I think it's great that Morrissey fans are going out and creating art, but this film misses the mark. Props to Jose M, who stars as Morrissey. He always looks good.
Rating: Summary: I Fell Asleep! Morrissey is NOT in this movie! Review: I was completely disappointed in this "film."
This film was LITERALLY put together by Spongebob Squarepants studio assistants and was a complete waste of my evening. Not funny, not humerous (other than 4 lesbian high-schoolers and the main character's ex-boyfriend who is friggin' hilarious in the few scenes he is in), and nauseatingly slow-paced.
I won't go into a long description, but essentially, some girl is totally obsessed with Moz and stops by some of his old haunts in an effort to find and marry him. She is an outcast and made fun of by everyone.
The extras are actually more interesting than the movie! Clips of Moz conventions and psycho-fans are pretty funny. The extras actually have a couple of Moz photos/distant video-cam clips.
I LOVE Moz but HATE this movie. Please, borrow it, rent it, or steal it but DONT waste your hard-earned cash on it. You will be disappointed. And remember, MOZ IS NOT IN THE MOVIE!!!
Rating: Summary: TOTAL PIECE OF TRASH! JUST SAY NO! Review: I would like to give this movie no stars but it was not an option. Don't be fooled by the indie reviews and look of this film. It is HORRIBLE! I'm a huge John Waters fan and enjoy camp and "bad" movies. Even John Waters would be bored with this one. The director spent too much time on looooong shots and scenes that go nowhere. Repetitive dialogue from the main character also gets annoying. Too bad! The movie could have had great potential but failed at the hands of an un-creative director.

Rating: Summary: Rent it before you buy it! Review: I'm a big fan of off the wall movies. When I read the reviews I thought this would be a great movie. I really didn't pay attention to the negative ones. The description was interesting and the cover art made it look like this girl was over the top, and would be fun to watch her. It was the WORST movie I have ever seen. It was 30 minutes into the movie before I even laughed, and that was the only laugh of the movie. I was hoping it would just end, it was so STUPID! I waisted my money big time! I've never reviewed any of my past purchases, but after watching this I had to warn people. My only recommendation is try to watch it first before you buy it. I guarantee you won't
Rating: Summary: Amazon, Can I Have my Money Back, PLEASE? Review: I'm serious. I can't believe I paid my hard earned cash to buy this movie. I should have been paid for the torture and wasted time. Now, I can't even get $3 for it at a store that buys used DVDs. It's not fair. Down right bad movie.
