Laff-fest sensation and parody queen Anna Faris (of the Scary Movie series) appears vis-à-vis Laura Breckenridge and Justin Chambers in Southern Belles, written and directed by Paul S.

Desperate… More Laff-fest sensation and parody queen Anna Faris (of the Scary Movie series) appears vis-à-vis Laura Breckenridge and Justin Chambers in Southern Belles, written and directed by Paul S. Myers and Brennan Shroff. Faris and Breckenridge play Belle and Bell, two trailer-trash Georgian zeroes. Desperate for adventure, and craving a move to urban Atlanta sprawl, the women hatch a nutty get-rich-quick scheme. Their plans appear poised to succeed -- until one of the girls threatens to upturn everything by falling for a policeman named Rhett Butler. Frederick Weller and Heather Goldenhersh co-star in this guffaw-a-minute farce, an official selection at the 2005 Atlanta Film Festival. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Funnier than just about 75% of the really expensive Hollywood yukfests, plus it's clearly conceived with just as much heart as goofball irreverence.

Slightly disappointing. Funny in parts, flat in others, it's really down to a more jaded than usual performance from Anna Faris that it didn't totally fail. While the ending was a bit underwhelming and left me wanting to know a bit more of what had happened, the "two years later" documentary on the dvd was ridiculous and spoiled the film!

A campy look at Southern stereotypes which might offend those that take it too seriously. Not side-splitting humor, but should generate some chuckles of familiarity.
