Critic Reviews

  • Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz

    I'd rather go on an all-Crisco diet than sit through Poor White Trash again.

  • Merle Bertrand, Film Threat

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

  • 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.

  • James Brundage, Filmcritic.com

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

  • Jon Popick, Planet Sick-Boy

    Trash isn't filled with stars, nor is it particularly well-written or evenly executed, but it's still a lot of fun to watch.
