A lighthearted comedy about a young girl discovering the very colorful past of her so-so dead boyfriend. Everything about this movie is fun and funny! It's not a big belly laugh comedy but the script and the acting keep the pace in a semi dark comedy mood. My Dead Boyfriend is about a girl discovering way too much about the deceased boyfriend he totes around in a cremation urn everywhere she goes! Heather Graham gives a top drawer performance as 'the girlfriend' pursuing the boyfriends past.
There is not too much I can say about this movie other than it is great fun and each actor shines in their role. I suggest if you see this movie by all means give it a watch and you will enjoy.

I didn't know it was the 90s until the last 5 minutes of the movie when she said "We survived Y2k." There is absolutely nothing 90s about this movie. Nothing at all.
This movie is so so strange. Nothing really makes sense & I was super disappointed in Kate Moennig's character.
She is Shane!! From the L word! I had such a crush on her! And her character in this movie absolutely sucked.
The premise of the movie isn't bad, but the execution was horrible!! They should have made it obvious that it was the 90s! The 90s is such a fun decade with so much to work with! It missed the mark with the setting & with everything else.

I took a chance on this movie after seeing the low IMDb ratings, largely because it starred the magical Heather Graham. And boy, does she deliver. For example: Every time she tells someone that her boyfriend is dead, check out her casual, distant, throwaway delivery of the line. It's slightly different but funny each time. That's craft!
The supporting cast shares Graham's idiosyncratic acting style, which works well with the odd but interesting plot twists and the occasional cartoon animations that are tossed in randomly and never really explained. But somehow, they seemed to fit. Some of the lines were laugh-out-loud funny. A weird comedy about someone's dead boyfriend may not be to everyone's taste, but if it sounds intriguing, check this one out.

Great movie! A very light-heart dark comedy! I saw with my family and we all laughed a lot. I would never read again a critic who has give a bad note to a movie like this! Though, the first forty five minutes are clearly funnier than the last forty five minutes. The actors are good. Very few scenes are easily to predict an this help to spark the fun in this hilarious film.
As others have outlined, this is a story about an underachiever who gets fired from her temp job and comes home to find her boyfriend, Primo, sitting dead in front of the TV. She starts to learn about a colorful secret life that he had while with her and before meeting her.
The premise is interesting, but there is some unevenness to the delivery and unfortunately Heather Graham's delivery of lines is even worse. There is an attempt at dark comedy, but it is not subtle. That said, her adventure in discovering Primo's past via a diverse selection of his friends and family is watchable, especially since it is set in New York.
