Sarah Jessica Parker and Harry Connick Jr. star in this oddly sunny attempt at black comedy. (And yes, it stoops to Dick jokes.) Parker plays Colleen, a good girl with a bad boyfriend named Dick. This problem is solved when she kills him within the film's first few moments. The rest of the movie is filled with wackiness, some of which hits and some of which misses. The plot isn't a bad one, with bits of information cleverly revealed through flashbacks and at least one pretty good twist, and the terrific (and sadly underused) Teri Garr appears in a cameo that she could do standing on her head. Life Without Dick is best suited for Harry Connick Jr. fans, as he spends most of the movie being affably handsome, and the other characters repeatedly beg him to sing. This earnest little comedy probably won't ever find mass appeal, but its weirdness will doubtless find it a cult following somewhere. --Ali Davis

 Life Without Dick February 24, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
By accident, Colleen Gibson shoots and kills her gold-digging cheating boyfriend, Dick, a private eye who happens to have a hitman on his tail. Danny the hitman works for his brother-in-law, a cheerful but nasty Irish mobster, hasn't actually killed anyone, and wants to be a singer. He falls for Colleen. she likes him, too. He can solve her problem Dick's body, she can solve his meeting the mobster's demands that he kill people like Dick. Danny has an ex-girlfriend, who might still hold the key to his heart, two cops are sniffing around for Dick, a junk yard owner gets a conscience, and a talent show is coming up. Bullets, music, and true love are set to collide. "Life Without Dick" is a wild love-story, murder mystery that has layers of interesting characters and plot twists. The casting is incredible. Sarah Jessica Parker is funny. Good comedy for a nice evening.

This 2001 film has some pretty big stars---Harry Connick, Jr., Sarah Jessica Parker, Teri Garr, Johnny Knoxville and Craig Ferguson. You'd think their agents would have been more selective. Sarah Jessica Parker plays Colleen, who believes her boyfriend, the big Dick (Johnny Knoxville) is cheating on her after a fortune teller had revealed. She just wants to scare him a little and gets her gun. It accidently fires and Dick is killed. What to do with the body? Colleen accidently meets a hit man, Danny Gallagher (Harry Connick, Jr.), from the Irish mob, that never has killed anyone. It seems the head Irish mobster, Jared (Craig Ferguson) wanted Dick dead anyway. Danny gets rid of the body and takes the credit for the killing. This black comedy does have its moments with its twists and turns, but I nearly fell asleep waiting for them. I happened to pick this up for $[...], so I didn't lose anything. It's not as funny as I expected, but mildly entertaining. Oh and guys, get your mind out of the gutter, it has nothing to do with a dick...

Okay, granted this is probably one of Harry's first movies so we can excuse the fact that he simply cannot act in it.....BUT....what was Sarah Jessica Parker thinking of! She is the bright spot in this painfully dull movie and unfortunately she cannot carry the entire thing. I actually felt uncomfortable when Harry Connick Jr. attempted to say his lines. He was stiff and just plain bad. Even his gratuitous singing didn't fit in. And bear in mind that I LOVE Harry!! But this movie is a real groaner. Let's let it die a dignified death.....leave it on the shelf!
