The black comedy DEAD SIMPLE tells the story of Frank, a small town man who dreams of being like Johnny Cash. When a beautiful mystery woman comes into his town, Frank's world suddenly becomes violent and chaotic, and he finds himself caught up in a series of accidental murders. A comedy with a very dark twist, the film is a wonderfully surreal mixture of the strange and the normal, of the hilarious and the tragic. The three leads, Daniel Stern (of HOME ALONE and CITY SLICKERS,) James Caan (best known for his turn as a Corleone mobster in the GODFATHER trilogy,) and Patricia Richardson (of TV's HOME IMPROVEMENT,) turn in endearing performances.

plays like an affable community theatre production produced with whimsy and a black humour

Great things come in small packages and this treat of a movie definitely comes in the smallest of cinematic packages.
