  A Quirky Over the top Cult Classic !

I am a fan of Charles Bush and have seen him on stage.
Famous campy cult hits like Psycho Beach party and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom
Also his acclaimed Broadway Hit Paly Tail of the Allergists Wife have garnered him much acclaim even if many have not heard of him..

Just the title Die Mommie Die should catch your attention.
His quirky writing style rely a bid on knowledge of film and pop culture. Many times the funniest lines rely less on hat is said but how it is delivered. Not everyone will get the humor but those who do will be roaring with laughter and reciting lines back and forth to each other for years to come.

Angela Arden (Charles Busch) is a former cabaret singer whose career has long since hit the skids and crashed to an abrupt halt. Her marriage to producer Sol Sussman (Philip Baker Hall) is rapidly heading the way of her career, but with Sol unwilling to agree to a divorce Angela gets busy with a bottle of arsenic and terminates the marriage in a less-than-legal manner. Now free to carry on her illicit affair with hot young stud Tony (Jason Priestley), Angela first has to deal with a suspicious daughter, Edith (Natasha Lyonne), and equally suspicious family maid Bootsie (Frances Conroy). Son Lance (Stark Sands) also plays a crucial role, especially when it turns out that both he and Edith are also bedding Tony. First-time director Mark Rucker has successfully created a camp classic by working closely with his talented star and screenwriter Busch, who gloriously hams it up for the cameras throughout, delivering a constant barrage of pithy one-liners. Priestley, Lyonne, and Sands provide deliciously silly support throughout, culminating in a movie that resembles a version of FAR FROM HEAVEN produced by trashy cult director John Waters.
