Critics Consensus

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

Despite its vulgarizing touches, it's a crudely effective story about tradition and modernity, misogyny and resistance.

One of those guilty pleasures that has no business being as stupidly entertaining as it is.

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.

Needless to say, this is one really absurd, funny movie.

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.

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.

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.
