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.

i must have seen a different film!!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
I did like this movie. It had some good comedy in it that at times was both fun and unique. Yes, obvious comedy, but if done well, some of that is the funniest. The acting was also good with Sarah Jessica Parker, and also, surprise, surprise Craig Ferguson. I have to give Craig credit - even though i recognized him right away - since his acting was really pretty decent. Before this movie I had thought that talk show hosts are not that great in movies since it is a different technique, such as Jay Leno in his movie looking at the camera directly too often -a talk show trait. But Craig did well and played a part well and proved that yeah, some talk show hosts can make the transition.I will say that the jokes seemed to go from quite good to dragging a bit at times, but I still would rate it highly as a light comedy. In other words, at least for people like me, it can be a nice way to spend an evening.
I couldn´t believe it. I have followed Sarah´s career since "Girls just want to have fun (1985)" and she has worked in many forgettables films but this one is the worst. If you wonna waste your time just sit on the coatch and watch tv while it´s unplugged and contemplate for an hour and a half the dark screen, it´s worth it!
I really enjoyed Life Without Dick. I think it's a refreshing change of pace from the usual Hollywood crap aimed at 15-year-old boys. Finally, a smart comedy. Sarah Jessica Parker is wonderful in the lead role,and David Cross is perfect as the idiot cousin. I highly recommend this movie.
I work at a video store and when we got the screener for this I was excited. I'm a big fan of MTV's Jackass because I feel Johnny Knoxville is a very funny person. This movie just sucked, it's not funny, stupid and embarrassing for everybody associated with it. Even though they kill Johnny Knoxville's character in the first minute of the film he does stay in the film through a series of flashbacks. If this performance was all he could bring then I feel he should stay in television. As for the rest of the cast Sara Jessica Parker was sweet at first then you realize that she is playing the exact same character she's played in every other film. Harry Connick Jr. was also equally bad and didn't show us the same passion he put into Copycat. If you haven't gotten my point by now, just skip this one. 3/10 (because Sara Jessica Parker is hot)
