Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
ShangLuda Admirable film.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Donald Seymour 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.
Michael Ledo The film takes place in Southern Illinois, but everyone has a southern accent. Mike Bronco, at times is the voice of reason in this film, but he gets talked into doing stupid stuff. The characters are poor caricatures and the dialogue is poorly cliche and predictable. And when it is not predictable, it is bad. My expectations where low, and unfortunately this film exceeded them. Perhaps in 2001 when this film came out it was worth seeing, but in 2012, the indie comedy has been perfected enough to push this film to the bottom of the must view heap. So watch "Chumscrubber" instead and you'll thank me. More stupid than funny.F-bomb, sex, no nudity.
General_G This is a great movie if you like movies that take place down south with hicks and such stuff like that. Blue collar, simple folk, whatever you call them. An okay plot to it. Good characters with good actors and actresses to play them. My favorite actress in the movie was Jamie Pressly. A lot of guys like her and so do I. My favorite character on the other hand is Ron Lake played by William Devane. I've always seemed to like characters that are lawyers for some reason especially goofy lawyers. Ron Lake was one of those tough, scary lawyers with a southern accent to go with it. So if you like southern type movies, go see Poor White Trash.
cherry_cola_13 If I ever get homesick when I move to Chicago, all I need do is pop this in. We don't live far from southern Ilinois, here. The characters are so expertly unpolished as to make one forget they are watching a movie and not sitting in their neighbor's trailer. I could smell the greasy fries and burgers in the fast food joint they 'robbed', and even felt the need to wash my face and hands after the 'oh so could be me or a neighbor' bungled murder scene. The absurd desperation and nefarious persistence of most of America's less than fortunate, but quite numerous population of us 'Poor White Trash' was funny without insulting, for it showed we have quite a drive to thrive no matter what! Thank you for the snickers and snorts! Cherry ColaA must see for the kitch lovers, airstream clubbers, or just plain folks, an excellent study of the absurd but true to life story and characters. Great chance to see 2 actors from Blade Runner strut their stuff years later, but neither lessened by those years.
freq32 This movie is for fans of Russ Meyer films! I was cracking up at this silly, wacky low-budget masterpiece. The cinematography was great and purposefully bad! The acting was hilarious. The story was chaotic and a pretty good representation of weird things that happen in a small American town. Jamie Pressly is truly funny and superb in this. If you don't 'get' this movie, that is really too bad for you. 10 out of 10!
