"Sordid Lives" is about a family in a small Texas town preparing for the funeral of the mother. Among the characters are the grandson trying to find his identity in West Hollywood, the son who has spent the past twenty-three years dressed as Tammy Wynette, the sister and her best friend (who live in delightfully kitschy homes), and the two daughters (one strait-laced and one quite a bit of a loser).

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's a genuine sweetness and familial affection that shines through Sordid Lives, and enough oddball humor to keep it mooo-ving along.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
If the film's flaws are large, so are its laughs.
– Rick Groen,

rotten:
A movie that, while robustly performed ... has the strange effect of not so much opening up a play for the screen as closing it in.
– Geoff Pevere,
Toronto Star,

rotten:
While the film at times feels like a clumsily acted play, a surprising turn by Delta Burke carries the cast out of the doldrums of an often-strained plot line.

fresh:
A train wreck you can't help but watch.
