      Poor White Trash is silly and over-the-top, but not very funny.

      Walt S This movie was boring and unfunny. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Steve D Even worse than it sounds. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Robert S. F Fun to watch not a lot are these days... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is TERRIBLE. I can't believe that RT critics give it 60%. It has a decent cast, but I can't believe they agreed to do this movie. It has a terrible story and almost zero laughs. I don't know what possessed me to watch this awful movie, but I wish I could go back in time and smack myself for even considering watching this movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Um, wow is the only term I can think of to use to describe this film. The fact that they flat out lied to a town in order to use it for filming purposes is "amazing" in itself. I have to honestly say I've never seen anything quite like it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible, just terrible. Poor White Trash is a comedy about the desperate attempt for a trailer park trash family to send their son to college by robbery. Well, it's not funny. Sean Young gave the audience a wonderful performance but there is just so much cliche, character archetypes and over the top acting.

      Richard Brody New Yorker Despite its vulgarizing touches, it's a crudely effective story about tradition and modernity, misogyny and resistance. Mar 5, 2019 Full Review Kevin Maynard Mr. Showbiz I'd rather go on an all-Crisco diet than sit through Poor White Trash again. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Merle Bertrand Film Threat One of those guilty pleasures that has no business being as stupidly entertaining as it is. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Brent Simon Entertainment Today You rarely see a movie these days with the conviction to lock 'breezy' and 'zany' squarely in its comic crosshairs and keep it there for the entire film, or the singularity of vision to sustain such a tone. But this deliciously campy film does just that. Rated: B Nov 18, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
