I can recommend three more enjoyable alternatives: counting the number of hairs on the back of your forearm, practicing breaking a cinder block in half with your bare hand, or submitting to a colonoscopy.

Reviews for I Woke Up Early the Day I Died
The budgets of [Wood's] own efforts would have been splurged within the first minute of DIED's title credits
Nothing could be more lethal to a Wood script than actors who not only think they're hipper than what they're trying to do, but who also make sure that the audience knows it.
It's sad and misguided and boring. Pretending to make a pathetically amateurish movie isn't nearly as effective as accidentally making one because you don't know any better.
Wood's bargain-basement aesthetic is impossible to parody. That this mime show works better than it should is, in a sense, the ultimate dis.
What redeems the whole enterprise is the affection that paradoxically comes through from its director, who obviously has tender memories of Mr. Wood.
hough the film is distinctive, its unique style wore thin after about 20 minutes, and as it progressed, watching became a chore.
Like all of the films Ed Wood directed, this new movie is a pure and simple dud.
