Love After Death (Telefilm)

 

Picture: C     Sound: B-     Extras: C-     Telefilm: C-

 

 

Charles Matthau had the chance to direct his legendary father Walter Matthau in the 1998 telefilm Love After Death, but it sadly does not have enough of either “dad” or Carol Burnett in it.  Instead, the film offers too many stupid moments with John Stamos, coasting and cashing in on his fame in bad TV sitcoms.  The teleplay is as juvenile and what must have at least very silly then seems really bad now, but here is a DVD of the 90 minutes just the same.

 

Not that this critic is out to bash Stamos, especially when so many animated shows already have, but this kind of fluff is why no one ever took him seriously.  Well, it’s a living, but you don’t have to loose and hour and a half of your life over it, even with Teri Polo.  The 1.33 X 1 full frame image is soft and has micro digititis throughout, while the Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo has healthy Pro Logic surrounds.  It is an awkward combination, but HD could not save the film, so the only extra of text on the cast is pointless.  Skip this one.
