RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Larry Castro From the very opening scene, I knew this would be one "trippy" movie! This college kid gets himself stranded in a small backwoods town(which looks all too familiar if you live in the south) after his car breaks down. He ends up meeting a few locals who offer to bring him to the bus station in exchange for some super groovy fish...This is when the adventure begins.He ends up being held there for longer than he expected, but surprisingly enjoys himself with a little guidance from the two crazy hillbillies that offered to help him, and all the rest of the trailer park folks. My only complaint about this little flick is that they didn't show enough of The Savior. You would think with the title being Trailer Park Jesus, Jesus would make more of an appearance through this tubular trip. All in all, this is a good little movie made by some people from my home town of New Orleans, Louisiana.So if you happen to be looking for some very well done indie comedy, I advise you to check this out when you have the chance. I have been reborn and joined the ministry of Trailer Park Jesus!
dolbydog-1 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.
phriend-735-638858 An independent film classic. Movie making as an art form. The story highlights the real life adventure of a college student's road trip through rural Mississippi and a stop in the town of Cleveland. A wide variety of off-beat characters help make his experiences unforgettable. Highlighted by Michael Dardant as Paul and Brent Henry as Luke, the actors cover a wide spectrum of rural Mississippi trailer park life. The film also features a great soundtrack and filming at on-scene locations. Special visual effects take you to the place where the characters are and allows the viewer to meet Trailer Park Jesus in person. Great follow up to Let's Rob the Cheese Shop. Gerowin has made tremendous strides in cinematography and production values.
boboldschoolbolin I was invited to a private screening of this film and went. I'm not a film buff and typically would have skipped something like this. Boy, was I ever glad I attended! This is a fun, delightful, laugh-out-loud story that reveals more just after you suspect what might happen next. It's sort of Hitchcock-ian that way...you anticipate and then are rewarded with almost but not-quite being right. The soundtrack rocks. The camera work is brilliant. The characters and their actions are spot-on. Having been in somewhat similar situations, this based-on-a-true adventure rings honestly. I can't wait to bring my friends to a public screening. Bravo!!
