Review of Living Will... (2011) by Adrian B — 09 May 2012

Normally I'm not one to speak ill of the dead, but I'm kind of glad Ryan Dunn is dead. Otherwise if he were alive, then my guess is that he would have killed himself after watching this pile of garbage. I mean, the thing is that this movie took nearly a year to make and produce. Not because it took a lot of money to make, but they ran out of money halfway into production and asked for Lions Gate for a hand out. So what is this movie about exactly? Well...think of the movie Ghost but with weed and bromance on the side, that's it!

There is nothing good, significant, or special about this movie at all. Like this dream scene that happens on and off all the way through the film that makes no sense whatsoever. April Scott has some pretty lame acting skills herself. Half the time she has this look on her face like she cannot even believe she is in this film but she needs the paycheck anyway. Bam Margera makes a cameo in this movie, despite his name being on the front cover, and puts on the worst Southern accent I have ever heard. Which pretty much matches with his acting skills as well. This movie also takes a lot of footnotes from other stoner movies when it comes to weed and booze jokes like complimenting a black & white dog's fur for having nice suit or having that one guy in the group who doesn't say anything but lays around someone else's couch all day. There are couple of montage moments that really don't progress that much at all and it all happens within the span of five minutes. The only parts that made chuckle just a little bit was Ryan Dunn doing his ghost pranks like tripping over people or passing a bong to a friend even when it was floating in the air and the stoners don't seem to realize this. I don't recommend this movie to anyone at all, not even to my friends who are huge fans of Jackass so don't bother renting this piece of dead weight. Speaking of dead weight, I feel it is better to honor Ryan Dunn by watching some of his classic Jackass clips rather than viewing this film.
