      Audience Member Silly dark comedy is silly... and not much else. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A decent black comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Steve Buscemi lives with his uncle Ned Beatty since his mother died a year prior. He's still very upset about her death, and meets someone who represents a company which can bring her back to life. His mom starts to behave oddly, and soon realizes he'll have to keep paying the company for injections to keep her acting correctly. Steve starts to get romantically involved with a woman, though his mother is very disapproving. In some ways similar to Dead Alive, but nowhere as good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Frances H Funny tongue-in-cheek movie, but perhaps it would have made a better episode of Tates From The Crypt,than a full length movie. Good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/12 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was a mix between FIDO and a weak version of DEAD ALIVE. I usually love this type of film but was dissapointed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Ed And His Dead Mother was a different type of zombie flick but it just wasn't as funny as I thought it was gonna be.Most of the funny moments came from Ned Beatty as the perverted uncle.Other than that, It's Not something I'd watch again Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
