The more frantic they all get, the more interesting they become.Įveryone in the cast shares excellent chemistry, selling their relationships in a way the script can’t always. Rossi even includes some little moments for minor characters, such as Tiffany’s dad (might be stepdad), who is a cop. This extends all the way to the ending, which is excellent. The story goes to some ridiculous places, and the more the absurdity is embraced, the better the overall product becomes. “… the trio must figure out how to dispose of the body before it gets too late.” But, once the narrative really gets underway, with the appearance of the dead body, the script finds its footing. It’s especially difficult to figure out why Craig and Jason are friends, as it appears Jason is a lazy mooch (he’s not going into work today because). Their connections and relationships to each other are not always immediately evident. A lot of characters run in and out quickly during the opening few minutes. Unsure what else to do, Jason calls Craig, and now the trio must figure out how to dispose of the body before it gets too late.ĭead Body is a bit hard to get into at first. (Andy Rossi), walks back in, realizing he mixed up and gave Jason the wrong package. A fight ensues, with the man winding up dead. To ensure he signs, the person Tiffany cheated on Jason with barges in as well. It’s a process server giving Jason the divorce papers from his perpetually drunk soon-to-be-ex, Tiffany (Natalie Canizares).

Shortly after the couple leave, there’s a knock at the door. On this particular day, Craig and Angela head out to their respective jobs, leaving Jason alone by himself. Said pal, Craig (James Edward Shippy), just got engaged to Krav Maga instructor Angela (Danielle Dallaco). Jason (Aaron Massey) is staying at his best friend’s place as he’s going through a divorce. Actor Andy Rossi makes his feature-length debut as a writer and director with the madcap comedy Dead Body.
