BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
lauranaboli This was surprisingly great. I didn't expect much, and I was feeling a little cynical at the beginning . . . I have to admit. But as soon as those two redneck dudes showed up, the ones the main character started tripping with, I was into it. Paul seems like the coolest guy ever.Never wanted some LSD so much in my life as I do right now. Watched straight from end to finish, giggling like I was tripping the whole way. It portrayed acid quite accurately, maybe the closest to the real thing I've seen in any movie yet. Studying film in school and can really appreciate how well this is made. Watching this really makes me want to start making films like this.... and do acid. Great production and great acting too, will watch again! Damn good job.
simplycharming_1-643-537145 Jessie is the epitome of a nice guy. He's the kind of dude whose girlfriend actually feels comfortable breaking up with him during sex. To combat those post-coital break up blues, Jessie gets his hands on a sheet acid that he shares with two college friends. His amigas have a major trip-fest, and sabotage his engine with adorable critters and "tittie beads" (as they were so eloquently termed by the character Paul). The modified car mechanics land Jessie stuck in a quaint little town in Mississippi en route to his hometown St. Louis. After befriending Paul and Luke, two local bumpkins, Jessie sets out on a quest to reach "Missoura" (pronounce it any other way, and you'll confuse residents). During his stay in the Southern non-destination, Jessie meets many colorful characters who all want to take a trip into Bake Town. Their drug facilitated fellowship with Jesus, glitter, paint, wine coolers, and sticks help Jessie find kinship in the most unexpected of places. His nice guy demeanor—and drug peddling—bring together a small, trailer park band of misfits. Clearly, being a nice guy isn't so bad.This indie movie was very funny. Not every line was a winner, but I found myself laughing and smiling more often than not. And, that's more than I can say for many of the larger budget films that find themselves produced by major movie companies each year. I loved the character Paul, played by a talented Michael Dardent. His Southern drawl, Aquiline nose, and easy going attitude really made him look like a dark- haired Matthew McConaughey. Or, was it just me? Regardless, his performance, along with Brent Phillip Henry (AKA Luke the Ultimate Fighter) was hilarious. There's definitely something there with this ensemble of cast and production team. I look forward to viewing their films in the future.
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!
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.
