The first must-see film of the year.
Mabel Munoz
Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Kamila Bell
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie opens with some ridiculous bathroom humor as the constipated Belcher (Ryan Dunn) wants his roommate Will (Gerard Haitz) to keep him company, i.e. drink, play cards while he takes "the Browns to the bowl." After Belcher dies from constipation, Will's life starts to look up as he dates Belcher's hot cousin Krista. (April Scott). The movie introduces some "stoners" who move into Belcher's old room. These characters are very poor copies of "Bill and Ted." Their lines and character are forced adding a negative aspect to the film.The ghost of Belcher returns (no special effects) and wants to hang with Will like old times until Belcher finds out Will is dating Krista.Ryan plays an excellent Belcher amidst some lack luster performances. He is a clone of Zach Galifianakis. All the lines were written for him. When Ryan Dunn is not on the screen the film is lame. The sound track is Indie and at times didn't match the scene. As the movie progresses, the antics of Ryan become more destructive and the movie loses its humor as it becomes a tragedy.If you are a fan of Zach Galifianakis type of bizarre humor, then you will find some enjoyment in this film.F-bomb, nudity (A.J. Khan)

Simple premise: the ghost of a guy's best friend interfere's with his love life. I rarely laughed out loud, but I certainly never cringed. Ryan Dunn's beard plays a very nice poor man's version of Zach Galifianakis beard. The film knows it is silly, and it pokes fun at itself. The humor here is not quite my taste, but still I could not fault it. I am not too sure though about the initial premise leading to the best friend's death. Is constipation something that even happens to young men? Could a young man even from constipation? So the initial setup seems to have a small fault. Yes, it's absurd and silly, but the medical condition seemed a bit too plausible to be humorous. Perhaps if the death and funeral scenes weren't so farcical.

Whoever decided to promote this rubbish as a comedy needs a sense of humour transplant. Seriously. This waste of an otherwise blank DVD is singularly unfunny.I read a review on here by a guy claiming to be 'a fellow film maker'. He claims that at some point in the movie, "comedy ensues." He's wrong. There is no comedy in this rubbish. Absolutely none. Not a skerrick of it anywhere.The same reviewer also claimed "Living Will is going to go very far... You will not be disappointed." Well, yes, I guess it went very far; to the garbage tip after I tossed it into the bin.As for being disappointed, absolutely no disappointment here at all. In fact, turning this trash off, scouring a huge, deep scratch into the DVD's data/play side with a heavy screwdriver then cutting a pair of fatal puncture wounds into it with a hole punch and a hammer before junking it with the leftovers from dinner was very pleasurable.I scored this at 2/10. It would have got 1/10 but the 500 millisecond shot of a printed T-shirt carrying a derogatory statement about Sarah Palin saved it.

My 2 word summary was for the first 2 minutes.It was tediously unfunny,I had to shut it off.I do not know who the actors were, BUT I do know I do not want to see another film with them it, The direction was non-existent, The rest of the credits was equally bad.I never saw the Jackass films,NOW I know I wont bother.I like good intelligent comedy,this film did not fit either one. I doubt this had a decent box-office, it it was released to the theaters.Truthfully it does not deserve a DVD release either.I see I need a few more lines.I have been going to the movies since I was about 5 years old. That was in 1933.I thing my age is sufficient to saw what a dreadful unfunny film this is.
