CGiii Comment
Bloody funny...no matter if you are a miserable, frumpy fart - this will make you laugh and if it doesn't then give up.
Leslie Jordan shines and sparkles - a memorable performance. Olivia Newton-John is criminally under-used.
Take it as it is presented - pure entertainment with a few unsubtle digs.

The(ir) Blurb...
We become intimate with the "Sordid Lives" of 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 looser).
