The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I'll make this quick. This film is NOT for the easily offended. It has foul language and sexual material from the beginning of the film, not to mention drug use. However, if you like good comedy... this is a MUST SEE! I had the honor of seeing it at the Mississippi International Film Festival. Having won a total of I think 8 awards in festivals, it was no doubt that it won in Mississippi too. I laughed so hard, my stomach was sore the following day. Have been dying to get my hands on a copy when it comes out. This will be in all my friends stockings for Christmas when I do. I know some of the actors in the film. All I can say is that they were convincing and I did not even recognize one of them. Bravo to the cast and crew!

I actually loved this movie. It's not pretending to be anything except what it is - a low-budget film festival film (with some seriously impressive visual effects). Some of the acting is better than others (Michael Dardant and Shanna Forrestall are standouts), but it has the attitude of the early Broken Lizard films, something like "laugh, don't laugh, we don't care because we know we're funny." It's all paced really well and somehow goes nowhere very quickly. It's damn unpredictable and despite some archetypal character types I had no idea how they were going to wrap it up at the end.It's well worth your time. Even more so if you enjoyed doing drugs in college.

Hearst all thou who doth like to laugh. Director Sean Gerowin has callest us to viewest his latest vision. His latest tome for the people. A film for all the faithful flock.Trailer Park Jesus is a film about Him. For He has risen. And with Him cometh a good times, paint, sparkles, beach weddings, and animated aquatic friends.Our story begins with Jessie of New Orleans traveling along the highways and byways of the American South to reunite with the tribe of his homeland. Along the way, however, the prophet Jessie falls victim to the plight of auto malfunction. Malfunction caused in part by wayward peers engaged in misguided worship.When Jessie is threatened by a Southern tribe member with an imposing visage, he turns to the comfort of Sara (without an "h"), proclaimed cousin of all and foe of a few. It is Sara, namesake of the Biblical wife of the prophet Abraham, and here friend of Jessie, who supports Jessie and helps him when he is most in need.With the aid of a few other members of the Southern tribe, Jessie is promised assistance to a caravan back to his own homeland. In order to receive safe passage from the Southern tribe, however, Jessie must provide mental openness in the form of fish. And despite his warning for caution and the knowledge that too much fish can lead to tragedy, the Southern tribe bask in Jessie's teachings, becoming true followers of the faith. For they are those who needed a spark and a prophet to enter their midst. Their's had become a life of despair and Jessie's teachings opened them to ideas and celebration they had only dreamed of. Or perhaps had once, but lost in the mire of their desperate surroundings.Then, from the teachings of Jessie and the visions of the people, the Savior appeared. A Savior who carries paradise and a wine cooler, who baptizes ultimate fighters and smokes cigarettes, and who is the only one who can truly lead the people of the Southern tribe from their meager surroundings to a life of glory, fame, and salvation.Unfortunately for Jessie, however, as the people embrace the Savior and bask in their new-found teachings, Jessie realizes time is ticking on his ability for safe passage back to his own tribal homeland. Jessie struggles with the notion that the people do not want their new prophet to leave their tribe, especially Sara, his foremost supporter and the foundation of his ministry. Yet Jessie remains stalwart his plan to rejoin his own tribe and return to his homeland. For the ties to family and his homeland are stronger than those to his new flock, although the beautiful Sara does provide his last temptation.He blessed them with Jessie and Jessie blessed them with fish. The Book tells us a fish dinner for the masses never runs out. Trailer Park Jesus provides the masses with laughs, odd situations, and even odder characters that likewise never run out.This is a letter of Jordi to the Romans.Quick synopsis:Mix Cheech and Chong drug humor from south of the border with the Canadian background of Trailer Park Boys from north of the border, throw in some southern stereotypes and religious allegory, and you have Sean Gerowin's latest, Trailer Park Jesus. From the two films of his that I have seen, Gerowin, a director from New Orleans, likes putting characters in crazy situations and forcing them to escape using their own wit and wisdom, especially when situations get vastly out of hand, often thanks to the misuse of some chemical enhancements.Here, a young college student is forced to bargain his way out of rural Mississippi using only a sheet of LSD. When the LSD proves stronger than he imagined and the locals embrace the mind-altering drug, hilarious hijinks ensue.

Trailer Park Jesus' cast crafts a light hearted foray into the emotions of the young heart. The film captures the subtleties and anxieties caused by socio-economic stereotypes without overexposure. Honest location shots paired with a great soundtrack are the strong points of the cinematography and editing.Strongest performances are by those portraying lead roles: Paul, Mary, Sara and Luke.To those who flinch at the at the title, there is no maligning or degrading of Christianity's human element. Just as He has done many time before, Jesus helps those in need.An IMAX or 3-D version would certainly highlight some of the psychotropic scenes.
