Product Description

Linda Bronco(Sean Young) is determined that her sensitive son will break free of trailer park life and become a family therapist. But it won't be easy. Linda has to rescue her son Mike and his slow-witted pal Lennie, who get caught roasting a Chevy Vega. Linda, Mike and Lennie decide that robbing the rich of Sunrise, IL is their only hope of paying Mike's tuition. Joining them is their uncle's trophy wife Sandy (Jaime Pressly). It's Linda, Mike, and Lennie against a posse of gun-toting townies - and the prize is a trailer-full of stolen cash!

Customer Reviews

Hilarious!
This film was hilarious! For a low budget movie, I was surprised how well paces, and fun it was to watch. The acting was particularly good. Sean Young was a trailer park mom. That's something I haven't seen before. William Devane and Jason London almost stole the movie. A lot of quotable dialogue. Well written! And very well directed!!

Pretty Awful.
The lithany of bad jokes, fowl and obscene humor from "Grandpa", and constant bizarre but stupid twists make this a hard pill to swallow. Towards the end of the movie, there's even a poorly-edited giant shoot-out involving seemingly every member of the cast, which really has no place in the film at all. And really, the end was the worst part of the film. Really painful.

I kept on waiting for something to happen, but I should have trusted my instincts and turned the thing off. The humor was really more appropriate for the teens crowd (watch out for a painfully long and drawn-out scene in which one of the boys makes out with his favorite blow-up doll), but the amount of language (i.e., constant references to being molested in prison) and graphic violence make it inappropriate for young people. I think this movie probably looked a lot better on paper.

The script was clever in parts. Perhaps with a better cast, a better director, and a stern copy-editor, Poor White Trash could have been something. However, I can't even think up a decent drinking game to accompany this terrible movie. I gave it two stars for the two times I laughed during the film.

Painfully Funny
Saw this once on video and couldn't wait to buy the DVD. It's the kind of comedy like the work of Christopher Guest where the characters seem painfully real. I recommend this to anyone who appreciates off-the-wall slightly depraved humor.
