Busch muffles his drag performance, suffocating the humor, and the cleverness of the plot is given too much responsibility, as if the filmmakers were actually expecting this movie to be appreciated as a thriller.
10/30/03
First-time director Mark Rucker has a nice feel for period detailing but fails to build on his star's rare flashes of high energy.
10/30/03
Director Mark Rucker has the right intentions, but unfortunately, not enough skill in terms of comic timing and film pacing to make this confection really soar into parody heaven.
11/03/03
This drag queen camp farce was an unfunny drag.
07/06/09
Would be hysterical in a series of five-minute sketches. But with a flimsy plot and a reliance on 'aren't-we-naughty?' gay jokes, a feature film quickly becomes insufferable.

Busch is actually pretty great as Arden, but with nothing to hang his wig on, it all gets tiresome rather quickly, inviting unflattering comparisons to John Waters' superior 1980 effort, Polyester.

Bad camp...despite the stylistic similarity, about as far from 'Far from Heaven' as you can get.

You quickly start to realize that there's not much of a movie here.
12/12/03
Rucker and Busch try hard to pour on the melodrama and the camp, but the results are too restrained and self-conscious.
10/31/03
This is such a smug, self-satisfied film that it will leave a bad taste in your mouth, whether you're a fan of old melodramas or not.

An extended skit on The Carol Burnett Show with fleeting full frontal nudity.
04/09/04
The best thing about "Die, Mommie Die" is the title.
11/04/03
Die Mommie Die! seems more like an amateur revue, perfectly all right for what it is, but not meant to be seen beyond an audience of friends and family.
