Soapy and trashy, and more than a little bit ludicrous. But there's quite a bit of subtext if you need it.

If Far From Heaven had had any sense of humor, it might have looked a little like this.

An extended skit on The Carol Burnett Show with fleeting full frontal nudity.

...Busch drags his campy send-up of Hollywood melodramas to the screen, and honey does it drag.

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.

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.

Aside from meeting a memorable character -- an aging pop diva with self-dramatizing flair -- this comedy thrives on arch melodrama and movie smarts.

Picture Far From Heaven done as a farce with a drag queen in the Julianne Moore role. Or don't picture it -- Die is still hotly hilarious.
