About This Movie

So, 'Dying from Love and Happiness' is this really unique surreal TV musical from '96. It's got that bizarre vibe typical of 90s specials, but it embraces chaos in a way that feels oddly cohesive. The pacing is kind of all over, bouncing between heartfelt moments and wild, almost absurd musical numbers. You get this strange blend of comedy and music that feels like a fever dream, with performances that are genuinely over-the-top but in a charming way. The practical effects? Well, they definitely lean into the surreal, creating visuals that stick with you. It's a strange little gem that stands out for its willingness to explore the absurdity of love and joy, all wrapped up in a New Year’s celebration gone awry.
