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

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!

Fantastic movie. Sarah Jessica Parker is hot and histerical and with the likes of our Jackass star and the cheesy Harry Connick Jr., you really can't go wrong for this fun, popcorn flick.
TERRIBLE MOVIE! December 2, 2003

DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE! What a waste of a good Saturday. The only reason I saw it was because I am related to one of the actors with a minor role. The plot is horrible and the actors act about as much as a beetle. The only good thing about this movie is that it was in focus.
