Critic Reviews

Alexis Soloski

Though Natasha Lyonne as bratty daughter and Philip Baker Hall as the disposable spouse impress, it's Busch's heartfelt Joan Crawford homage that enthralls. Busch can transcend even the smog, making hazy camp seem fresh. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Makes a jolly absurdist stew out of its sources. Read full review

Peter Travers

Hotly hilarious. Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

Taken together, the sum of so many parts is too schizophrenic to be wholeheartedly embraced -- the movie is played for parody, but with a veneer of respectability that leaves the whole endeavor betwixt and between. Read full review

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky

Busch, responsible for the similarly hit-and-miss-that's-a-mister "Psycho Beach Party," has a good idea; two in one movie would make him absolutely fabulous. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

A one-note farce that struggles just to remain on key. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Mean-spirited and stagy where "Psycho Beach Party" was cinematic and charming, Die, Mommie, Die recycles gags from Busch's screenwriting debut--from transparently phony rear projection to a character's crippling constipation--and the law of diminishing returns kicks in pretty hard.
