Editorial Review:
They wanted Daddy's loveÂ...but they'll settle for his dough! A "terrific cast" (Leonard Maltin) – including Beau Bridges, Beverly D'Angelo, Tess Harper and Judge Reinhold – star in this wickedly funny comedy of heirs about a Texas family who gather to mourn – and perhaps to mine – the memory of their dear ole dad. Scheming Orville (Bridges), nympho Evalita (D'Angelo), loyal Sara Lee (Harper) and self-righteous Lurlene (Amy Wright) are all very frantic when they learn that their daddy's dyin'Â...mostly because they can't find his last legal will and testament! But as old grudges and suppressed desires are aired, this family reunion becomes a wild free-for-all – and a "touching, unpredictable [and] affectionate drama" (San Francisco Chronicle)!
Daddy's Dyin'... Who's Got the Will? Reviews:
LOVE this MOVIE 
2009-11-06 - I first watched this movie not long after it hit the Blockbuster shelves. About two decades later I have seen it so many times I can resite lines and sing all the songs. This movie is so true to form. I have a southern family and needless to say I see quite a bit of my own kin in these characters. This movie is a classic and should be enjoyed by all who can see the true colors of their relatives and love them despite it all.
movie purchase
2009-10-04 - This movie is hilarious!!! If you're from a small Texas town, know someone from a small Texas town, or have ever driven THROUGH a small Texas town, you will absolutely love this movie. I recognize most of my family members in the cast; the grandmother is mine, right down to the no-cussin', no-drinkin', no-nothin' cause God will get you for it attitude. Buy this movie, you will NOT regret it.
great dramedy
2009-09-14 - I just happened to catch this movie on cable some years ago & found entertaining from beginning to end. It has a first rate cast including TESS HARPER, BEAU BRIDGES, JUDGE REINHOLD & BEVERLY D'ANGELO. I happened to find it while browsing through the AMAZON movies & didn't hesitate to buy it. It is one of those films that proves nobody can hurt you like your family but also when the chips are down nobody will come through for you like your family. Great little movie!!!
Worth Watching 
2009-01-06 - Not of the same calibre of "Sordid Lives" but still worth looking at. We're all avid fans of Sordid Lives here and anything written by Del Shores is worth watching. Molly McClure is amazing and reminds you of Beth Grant.
Quirky & Funny
2008-08-16 - I just happened to find this movie several years ago on one of the premium channels. I had never heard of it but from the info given it sounded interesting. I watch this movie and laughed & laughed. It has a great cast of actors. And each character is essential to the movie. It's a movie that isn't a block buster but it is a movie that is very entertaining & one that you can watch over & over. It's about a crazy southern family, with quirky habits,lots of sibling rivalry,family love, and a family bond that eventually allows them to over come their obstacles & their feuds with one another & being a southerner I can relate. I have a list of movies that I have seen and enjoyed but they are rarely ever shown on TV again. So I went on-line & found it. If you want a laugh and to be highly entertained this is the movie to add to your DVD collection. I just loved it & I am glad I found it.
