Review – Poor White Trash

Here’s a suggestion for a way to have fun with this piece of crap: make a “scavenger hunt” list of theme-appropriate clichés to look for. Think of as many as you possibly can. Then tick them off as you watch. For those of you with only limited exposure to the title sub-strata, let me give you a start: “Confederate flag,” “bowling,” and “T-shirt that reads ‘My face leaves in an hour, be on it.’” I guess maybe if you find such things inherently amusing, then you’ll certainly find plenty of them here. Otherwise this is just another low-budget comedy that lacks the script, acting and production values that might have made it a more worthwhile experience. I got at least a tiny kick out of the references to Southern Illinois University and Carbondale, but that was strictly personal for me. Otherwise the whole thing was silly without being funny and over-wrought without being clever. See if desperate
