George Lass (Ellen Muth) is a grim reaper. She's been dead for 5 years after getting hit by a toilet seat from space.
If you were a fan of "Dead Like Me" the series, I warn you to not watch this crap-fest of a movie. The series was one of my all-time favorite shows, and it is the first time ever (out of two...
Loved seeing the movie after the series finished :) still want more!!
The show ended too soon. The movie was a poorly and hastily wrapped corn ball.
It's difficult to even know where to begin! Firstly I have to repeat a common theme through all the posts I have read and that is, DLM was (still could be) a fantastic show.
If this represents Brian Fuller's (director of the first few episodes of the series) work, then it was a good thing that he left! This DVD movie is flat and disappointing.
I came to the series late, in 2011, watching them all via Netflix and so tore through both seasons at 2-3 episodes a night. It was all the good things other reviewers have mentioned, and I was disappointed to realize two seasons was all she wrote--until I discovered the follow-up movie!
As Rube might say, you don't f*ck with the living. Bryan Fuller et al totally screwed the pooch by making this mess.
I enjoyed the series so very much. All of the charm, chemistry, quirkiness of the series was absent from the movie.
