Poor White Trash | Year: 2000 Directed: - Michael Addis Actors/Actresses: - Sean Young - William Devane 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!! Good Story-telling & Characters Save This Low-Budget Comedy Now what? This provaking title with the cast like this? Anyone who remembers Sean Young in Ridley Scott masterpiece "Bladerunner" might bitterly think about her career decline since "No Way Out." And Jamie Pressly played the same kind of role as the one she did in "Ringmaster" starring ... Jerry Springer. However, in spite of (or because of) this low expectation, "Poor White Trash" turns out a fairly good comedy following astory of a boy and his mother (Sean Young) plus his airhead buddy, all of whom get involved in a train of stupid situations. It starts from a minor crime of shoplifting a pack of beer, but their sheer stupidity of handling the case leads them into the spiral staircase of other crimes such as hitting a local berger shop (while ordering bergers at the same time) and an attempted murder (with a gun in a frying pan). The characters are all typical ones that you might imagine from the film's title, but the movie wisely avoids the mistake of laughing 'at' them. Instead, it gives a set of likable characters with a bit crazy streaks. Not so many laughs would be there, and some of the obvious attempts to get them fail, but its well-written story keeps on going with a good pace. The standout is Jamie Pressly's too sexy "grandmother," and Sean Young's mother Mrs. B, who preaches her son to have a strict moral sense while discussing a plan of burglary! Obviously made with low-budget, and it sometimes suffers from the fact, but the result is better than you expect from the title and the cast. Worth a try. Extremely fun, campy romp!! I wasn't expecting much from this film, after it's limited theatrical run. So, when I sat down to watch it at home, I wasn't too excited. Probably the only reason I bought it was because I'm a huge Jason London fan. But, I had some friends over and we sat down to watch the movie. We laughed from beginning to end! The characters were so funny, and so real, it has us rolling. The writing from Michael Addis and Tony Urban was awesome. The actors were all at the top of their game, especially London and William Devane. The one who stole the show was Jacob Tierney. The only actor who I thought did a poor job was Tim Kazurinsky. He was really poor, but his 2 scenes were very short, so it didn't harm the film. Don't expect this to be an Oscar winner. Just take it for what it is, a very campy romp through the trailer parks of the midwest. Great fun!
