Poor White Trash Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
kcnrb The actual title as it was presented to the residents of Benton, Il and the surrounding areas was originally called "Goodbye Sunrise", which for the economically depressed area of Illinois was good PR. It is in the very southern part of the state among many closed coal mines which at one time was the one of the biggest employers in the area. Benton is a small town and when people found out about the filming, everyone was excited.It wasn't until after they had finished filming that the name was changed which really ticked off the residents of the area. I lived 20 min from Benton and I remember all of the excitement. And sadly, I too felt insulted by the slap to the face we got from the poor white trash who wrote and filmed this.
joesmith40 This movie is one of my favorite redneck movies, and I can say that because I was raised in the south and had relatives that really acted as trashy as some of the people in this movie:) In all seriousness, this movie is fun from beginning to end. It's nothing but a bunch of pure white trash, and if you don't know what that is, this might be a good movie to get started on. The biggest attraction of this movie is Jamie Pressly's high-caliber performance (it may be unfortunate for her own reputation that she fits into white trash roles so well--take Ringmaster, My Name is Earl, etc.--but it's certainly entertaining for the audience). You'll get no redeeming moral qualities from this movie, no great message, no uplifting spirit, but you'll laugh your ass off!
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.
amenichini I rented "Poor White Trash" and laughed throughout the entire picture. It's ranks with other white trash greats such as "Joe Dirt," "Sling Blade," "Wild at Heart" and "Drowning Mona." Really, really funny.
