I had the very privileged pleasure to be able to see this film, in multiple stages, from very early on. I'm a fellow filmmaker and although I did not work on this film (nor did I know the filmmakers while they made this film) I have since worked with this crazy talented crew on a few other projects.
The premise of the film is pretty much a story about two best friends. One passes away and the other living one starts to date the cousin of the deceased. Then to the sheer surprise of the living one his deceased friend returns as a ghost to continue hanging out and partying. When the ghost finds out about his cousin he does everything in his underworld powers to stop the two from going out. Comedy ensues.
Now of course there is much more going on here then my simple cliff notes version of the film I just gave. Living will is a story about growing up, change, and what happens when one friend does when the other tries everything in their power not to.
The cast is all very talented but one man stands out above them all in a show stealing performance. Ryan Dunn aka Random Hero. I had never met Ryan Dunn until after I saw the film for the first time. And yes like you, faithful IMDb review reader, when I heard he was the lead in a movie I thought "oh man the guy from jackass who stuck a car in his b-hole is trying to act?? This is going to suck". I couldn't have been more wrong about anything in my entire life. Ryan Dunn is phenomenal in this movie. I don't think there is a single scene he is in that you won't laugh at something. HIs acting is superb. I have since met and actually worked with him on two other films and he is one of the nicest most down to earth guys, who gets pigeon holed as a reality star because of his fame from jackass. He always has time for autographs for fans and is one of the most prepared, intense, and professional actors I have worked with. He's good, you get the point.
OK enough of me drooling over Dunn. Let's move on. The latest version of the film I saw was the test screening at the Broadway theater in Pitman New Jersey and from what I saw there, I can't wait to see the final product. The film ran at almost two hours and needed some more trimming but after the screening the main crew members knew exactly where and what they needed to do, once they saw the reactions of the film as it played to a packed house.
Living Will is going to go very far when its all finished and if you get a chance to see it do it. You will not be disappointed. This is an indie film with both comedy and heart. It was made by an incredibly talented crew with an awesome cast (Cameron Taylor who plays Furbush has one of the funniest scenes in the movie, just saying). Check this out any chance you get whether its theaters or DVD its well worth it. I give it 3 1/4 out of 4 stars. (as a rough)
