    While the "Aren't Southern people crazy?" bits are stale, there are entertaining glimpses of what it takes (other than permits) to produce a no-budget movie.

    Town of the Living Dead, though entertaining, does not feel at all real.

    Town of the Living Dead feels far too planned when it comes to its cast of characters and knowing one-liners.

    What this benign, not-all-that-colorful sojourn to Alabama unleashes feels a lot closer to a pastel drip than a crimson tide.

A group of real people doing what they do against tremendous odds, may not sound like a comedy premise, but in this case it works out that way. Producer Tina, and her odd assemblage of a film cast and crew are totally charming in their quest to complete their movie, when others would have long since given up.

Give this one a watch.… Full Review »
