Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A 2000's comedy titled "Poor White Trash", with that synopsis, with Jaime Presley presented as the lead character on the poster, and rated so low by snobby so-called "professional critics"... one could think this is a hidden gem.It turns out it isn't. It's a pretty small budget production and it shows in the editing (some of the cutting to the next scene for e.g.) but this isn't nearly the problem. The problem is the film all the while being pretty full with events, still feels pretty slow in pace. We get the point pretty quickly, so it would've been very welcomed, and crucial even, that the film would at least supply good laughs consistently, which it doesn't, it's barely just about tenable for its short length and pretty average in humor. It's okay.It should have been funnier...It should be said Sean Young and William Devane really support the film with really good acting presence that maintains some scenes above water level on its own. Presley is good as always, but we see far too little of her...4.5/10.

Desperate white trash matriarch Linda Bronco (marvlously played with lip-smacking relish by Sean Young) resorts to criminal means so she can raise enough money for her son Mike (a likable portrayal by Tony Denman) to go to college. Linda joins forces with Mike and his dim-witted pal Lennie (delightfully essayed with supremely idiotic aplomb by Jacob Tierney) to embark an inept crime spree that only manages to compound the severity of their problems instead of solve them. Writer/director Michael Addis ably milks the hysterically broad humor for maximum belly laughs; the gut-busting profane dialogue, constant squabbling amongst the outrageous redneck characters, and the gloriously tacky evocation of the sordid trailer park world they reside in all add up to one extremely funny and enjoyable, if less than subtle and sophisticated, comedic romp. Moreover, the game cast tackle the wacky material with delicious go-for-it zest: William Devane has a ball as shrewd and corrupt no-count lawyer Ron Lake (who has a very impressive beer can art display in his garden!), the always enticing Jamie Pressly struts her sizzling hot sexy stuff once again as Ron's faithless and calculating trophy babe tramp wife Sandy, Jason London likewise excels as the bumbling Brian Ross, and M. Emmet Walsh makes the most out of his minor part as the hard-nosed Judge Pike. The swift pace and right-on rocking soundtrack keep things hopping throughout. Both Peter Kawalski's slick cinematography and the lively harmonic score by Tree Adams are up to par. An absolute hoot.

I'm a huge fan of Jaime Pressly - so sue me -, and I bought this DVD for her. Biiig mistake. She's not in it that much, and the story itself and most of the characters are tacky and vulgar and stupid. No way this can be called a quality movie. I regret spending the five bucks on it.One thing is good, though: Sean Young. I never really liked her much, but I must say middle-age agrees with her. She was cool and sensitive and hotter than she's ever been, and I'm going to have to seek out some of her other movies from recent years.But I doubt I'll ever be watching this one again.3 out of 10.

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.
