Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 06/24/2024
3/4
The film yearns for harmony between the old and new, traditionalism and progressiveness, and by extension, echoes Taiwan’s identity, with roots in Chinese heritage and modern Western influence. Go to Full Review Frank J. Avella Awards Daily 12/01/2023
B+
The ensuing otherworldly silliness is a hilarious delight that some might find offensive since it isn’t careful or woke, but it is sweet and touching, albeit in a wildly, abrasively entertaining manner. Go to Full Review Brandon Judell Brandon Judell (Medium) 09/11/2023
What follows are fisticuffs, grumpy gangsters, grandmas insisting you come over for dinner, and a few shoot-outs that lead to quite a sweet, moving, satisfying finale proving that sometimes we all need a good dose of otherworldly romantic silliness.

2/5
Gay men are often portrayed stereotypically, and many portrayals even repeat old and damaging alignments with depression, insanity, disease or illness, overt sexuality, and death. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community 08/12/2023
7.5
Despite its issues, Marry My Dead Body offers a hilariously heartwarming twist to a long-time tradition. Go to Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) 08/12/2023
3.5/5

Dan Gabriel F Nov 15 Amestecul de comedie și drama este o idee proasta în acest film. As fi preferat sa fie ori comedie ori drama. Îi dau 75% fiindcă avea potențial sa fie un film bun See more Bianca L Aug 17 Absolutely cringy. It's like an Agatha Christie novel, where you always expect the unexpected, and the jokes are cheesy and cheap. The CGI is awkward and the acting is stiff. I nearly closed the show at 15 minutes, but sat down and finished the whole thing. I regret not giving into my instincts earlier. See more Lexie M @Lexie359 Jul 14 This movie is an absolute must see filled with action and comedy and the comedy isn’t dry at all. Thought the movie isn’t shocking it’s also not predictable and will leave you satisfied but still hungry for more to the story See more Kalissa H @kali_416 Jun 24 Pretty decent action+drama movie. See more Mônica Mar 28 Eu achei impressionante como esse filme conseguiu ornar perfeitamente a comedia e a tristeza, simplesmente nunca vi um filme tão emocionante como esse! Por mais que tenha um conteúdo mais focado pra os espectadores rirem, eu chorei muito no final, agradeço aos criadores desse filme, por me fazerem feliz! See more EmEm R 12/30/2024 A Must-Watch Film This film is a must-watch! It mixes humor and horror really well, making it fun and exciting. Some scenes are very emotional, and the actors did an amazing job with their roles. You'll also learn a lot about the culture and the stereotypes that the LGBTQIA++ community faces. This film teaches important lessons and gives great insights. I highly recommend it to everyone! See more Read all reviews
