I like the original TV show very much, the idea of life after death is good. && if you seen it you'll know. Only thing that bother me is the TV show doesn't have a happy ending, and I love happy endings.This movie is really a good ending of the TV show. I remember a line from 'Dellamorte Dellamore',it's "you know, life goes on", I love this line, life sometimes really doesn't give you any choice, you have to live the way you are, sadly but true. So as the ending of Dead like me. Reggie is really beautiful grown up. And George(Ellen Muth),I like her acting and I heard she is a member of mensa? so she must a high IQ, really smart! Laura Harris didn't show in the movie,this kind of let me down,like her very much,Sarah Wynter(Daisy) acted a little wired...

I was so surprised to find this movie because I was a big Dead Like Me fan from the start and was looking forward to seeing a wrap-up of it. Unfortunately, I was mostly disappointed. First off, there are some changes to some of the characters personalities. Of course, Daisy, comes to mind. They had to have another actress play her because Laura Harris either couldn't or wouldn't. People complain that Sarah Wynter is poor at depicting Daisy but I'm not so sure it's all her. When the original Daisy would open her mouth, something interesting came out. Not so with this movie. Daisy's lines in general are just boring. Along with that, there are a few changes in the way the original characters act as if whoever wrote the movie didn't participate in the series and didn't have a good grasp as to what it was all about. I thought perhaps they had different writers but the ones who worked on this also worked on the series. I don't want to give spoilers so I'll just say that some things that happen, esp. the ending with their "replacement" character for Rube, seem completely out of character for all of them. It just comes off as stupid and ridiculous. Another thing is, if they couldn't get Mandy Patinkin, they shouldn't have even bothered with this. He's too important for the composition of the characters to go without and the Henry Ian Cusick part was mostly annoying and pointless. I also wasn't too crazy at how George's mother's change in demeanor from sardonic, cynical and sarcastic to upbeat and recovered from her daughter's death was kind of jarring even though it made sense being after a five year period. There's also a edgy quirky darkness that the original had that is sadly missing here. The best most interesting part of the movie is what happens between George and her sister, which I don't want to say to, again, spoil anything but it is the part that makes this movie worth watching.

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. It is, at times, illogical (the series had a strict logic to it). For example, if shooting the bad guy through the head doesn't 'kill' him, then why, for heaven's sake does cutting him up with a chain-saw and burning the body do the trick? The plot doesn't seem to know where it is going with result that the viewer loses interest. Dolores Herbig has lost her bubbly enthusiasm, Mason is now hopelessly addled, Daisy's past is no longer believable or relevant and Roxy is now somewhat scary and dangerous! Rube is sorely missed. This is a dumbed-down version of the original series. WHAT A PITY!!

I only came across the TV series title in the last couple of weeks and sat through both seasons as fast as possible, as I absolutely loved it! After enjoying these immensely, I was looking forward to an extension of the same, within the movie. Unfortunately, the best I can say is that MOST of the acting and MOST of the dialogue wasn't too bad, and they did manage to get SOME story in there. In short, it was such a disappointment to find the movie had less content than an episode, seemed very choppy and forced most of the way through, started without a real beginning and finished without an end! I want my 87 minutes back! I guess as the old saying goes: "What has been seen cannot be unseen"... *sigh*
