So does the Dead Like Me movie rock or suck? Short answer: It doesn\u2019t rock =(<\/p>\n<p>The good: Well, its nice to watch the well-known, loved characters again, portrait by the known actors. Especially Britt McKillip who plays still Reggie but of course she\u2019s now grown up.<\/p>\n<p>The bad: There\u2019s no clear story-line. There are just different snippets: The new \u2018boss\u2019, breaking the rules, meeting with Reggie. The story just passes by without creating tension, thrill and emotions. All in all it is a not a really good Dead Like Me episode, just longer.<\/p>\n<p>The ugly: As I\u2019ve <a href=\"?p=57\">feared before<\/a>, it sucks that Daisy is played by another actress (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0364977\/\">Laura Harris<\/a> in the series, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0944077\/\">Sarah Wynter<\/a> in the movie) and that Rube (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001597\/\">Mandy Patinkin<\/a>) is gone completely. Rube was a central character in the series. There\u2019s a big whole which isn\u2019t filled in the movie. Furthermore Daisy just isn\u2019t Daisy anymore. Watching TV-series you associate the characters with the actors. Replacing them just doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>Star-O-Meter:<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/star.png\" alt=\"star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ratingImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/mombly-review-rating\/images\/emptystar.png\" alt=\"empty-star\"\/> (3\/5) \u00a0(only the movie, of course)<\/p>\n<p>Teaser:<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bDyZB7Udga4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/bDyZB7Udga4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So finally the Dead Like Me Movie (IMDb) is here, five years after the cancellation of the TV-series (Wikipedia, IMDb).\u00a0 Serenity or The Simpson Movie are a great example of&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[122,76,75,48,26],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=319"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3803,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/319\/revisions\/3803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gamlor.info\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
