It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I came across this flick due Danielle Harris being in it. This flick is filed under comedy and crime so i thought I gave it a try. The story is simple. Two boys getting in trouble will be sent to college but they do need the money. The mother hasn't got any so it's time to rob a fast food joint. It intended to be funny but I didn't laugh at any moment. Even as it do has stupid moments actually to be funny, for me it never worked. On the other hand there's the crime too, that part was low too, it's really about the comedy. Here and there, like with the safe, we do have a bit of slapstick situations. But overall, this wasn't my thing. Maybe teenagers will have a big laughter recognising the situations but for me this was exactly what the last word says in the title.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5

As a Southern Illinois native myself, I can say without a doubt this movie only scratches the surface of Southern Illinois people. So.Il. does have it's share of "rednecks" but that is not the majority. It's interesting to read the claims of accurate representation of former SIU students from the north. Much of SIU's enrollment come from northern Illinois residents who flock to the college for it's money saving advantages. So really most social interactions are northerner to northerner. To be labeled something by people because of geographical location is a bit narrow minded and absurd. That being said I enjoyed the movie and thought it was rather entertaining. It was funny and the cast was an interesting mix but they all worked really well together. My favorite part was the beer can lawn art!

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.

I was interested to see this movie, because I grew up in Southern Illinois and ran around in Benton as a teenager. Yes, I was a Carbondale Saluki and I believe I know some of the people Mr. Urba and Addis based their characters on. The scary part of the movie is (even if other didn't like the acting of the cast) that really is how most of the people in the local area act. Here's some trivia, local people were mad because the title of the movie was changed from something nice to something degrading, accurate, but degrading. I am also wondering about how Mr. Addis got so many good actors to be in a low budget, bad movie. I know the film has no A-list stars, but I wasn't aware that the actors in it were so disparate for work. Even a Malkovich was involved in the production. Luckily, the only good thing about this movie was seeing Jamie Pressly in the same frame as the old stomping grounds and the fact I don't live there anymore. Stay down and dirty, Slugdriveruh1
