angiequidim Jessie is a college student who has to deal with one of the worst situations a guy can ever go through; a breakup by your girl while you are being intimate with her. He decides to deal with it by purchasing a sheet of acid to share with his friends back home in Missouri. Hoping this will eradicate the bad memory of the breakup, he heads home to cleanse himself of his predicament and takes a slight detour to have more time to reflect on the events that have turned his world upside down. When he makes a stop at a gas station, he meets some local folk that give him a bit of trouble. When he gets ready to leave, his engine fails at a forgotten trailer park in Cleveland, Mississippi. What happens next is a journey that just gets weirder but contains a barrel full of laughs for the rest of the film.This comedy starts as a misadventure into the backwoods culture of a forgotten place in rural Mississippi he becomes immersed in a culture that was just awkward to him. The journey he takes and the encounters he goes through helps him realize his life isn't as bad as he thinks and his ideas about love are on the right path. As he learns a little bit more about himself, he also helps the people he encounters along the way.The filmmakers say this movie was inspired by true events. The audience can relate to the characters as we have met a version of some of these people one time in our lives. Each of the actors have great chemistry and add to the witty dialog and the director does great things with the remarkable talent. Even as a low budget indie film, the laughs one can pull out of this piece is just something that you can get in most of the studio driven movies these days. The story flows and if you pay attention, you can pull a little bit of a lesson from this film.

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.

watsupjeff From the outset, this indie film captures the viewer's attention, and doesn't let it go until the credits roll. Full of quirky twists and turns, the plot is compelling and original. Even the special effects, though obviously working within a limited budget, are well done and add a lot to the "trippy" feel of the flick. Though there is definitely some "porn-quality" acting every once in awhile, as a whole the acting is mature, believable, and interesting. The occasional flat, uninspired delivery is more than made up for by the strong performance of the leads,and is certainly forgivable, understandable, and not without precedent(think of Kevin Smith's early films). Tipping its hat to "Easy Rider"explicitly several times in the dialogue, the film also does so thematically, playing with the creative and sometimes dangerous clash that happens when one segment of society comes into contact with another. Though the film is a comedy (and a funny one), there is also a not-so-funny visual treatment of life in poverty-stricken rural America, and one walks away from the film with a better understanding of what it might be like to grow up in an American subculture where watching dogs hump is the only entertainment available, and where violence and lack of education are the norm. Having a good time playing with stereotypes, the film also helps the viewer move beyond them, making sympathetic characters out of individuals who started out as one-dimensional and easy to dismiss. Well worth the 90 minutes!

Jordi Scrubbings Hearst all thou who doth like to laugh. Director Sean Gerowin has callest us to viewest his latest vision. His latest tome for the people. A film for all the faithful flock.Trailer Park Jesus is a film about Him. For He has risen. And with Him cometh a good times, paint, sparkles, beach weddings, and animated aquatic friends.Our story begins with Jessie of New Orleans traveling along the highways and byways of the American South to reunite with the tribe of his homeland. Along the way, however, the prophet Jessie falls victim to the plight of auto malfunction. Malfunction caused in part by wayward peers engaged in misguided worship.When Jessie is threatened by a Southern tribe member with an imposing visage, he turns to the comfort of Sara (without an "h"), proclaimed cousin of all and foe of a few. It is Sara, namesake of the Biblical wife of the prophet Abraham, and here friend of Jessie, who supports Jessie and helps him when he is most in need.With the aid of a few other members of the Southern tribe, Jessie is promised assistance to a caravan back to his own homeland. In order to receive safe passage from the Southern tribe, however, Jessie must provide mental openness in the form of fish. And despite his warning for caution and the knowledge that too much fish can lead to tragedy, the Southern tribe bask in Jessie's teachings, becoming true followers of the faith. For they are those who needed a spark and a prophet to enter their midst. Their's had become a life of despair and Jessie's teachings opened them to ideas and celebration they had only dreamed of. Or perhaps had once, but lost in the mire of their desperate surroundings.Then, from the teachings of Jessie and the visions of the people, the Savior appeared. A Savior who carries paradise and a wine cooler, who baptizes ultimate fighters and smokes cigarettes, and who is the only one who can truly lead the people of the Southern tribe from their meager surroundings to a life of glory, fame, and salvation.Unfortunately for Jessie, however, as the people embrace the Savior and bask in their new-found teachings, Jessie realizes time is ticking on his ability for safe passage back to his own tribal homeland. Jessie struggles with the notion that the people do not want their new prophet to leave their tribe, especially Sara, his foremost supporter and the foundation of his ministry. Yet Jessie remains stalwart his plan to rejoin his own tribe and return to his homeland. For the ties to family and his homeland are stronger than those to his new flock, although the beautiful Sara does provide his last temptation.He blessed them with Jessie and Jessie blessed them with fish. The Book tells us a fish dinner for the masses never runs out. Trailer Park Jesus provides the masses with laughs, odd situations, and even odder characters that likewise never run out.This is a letter of Jordi to the Romans.Quick synopsis:Mix Cheech and Chong drug humor from south of the border with the Canadian background of Trailer Park Boys from north of the border, throw in some southern stereotypes and religious allegory, and you have Sean Gerowin's latest, Trailer Park Jesus. From the two films of his that I have seen, Gerowin, a director from New Orleans, likes putting characters in crazy situations and forcing them to escape using their own wit and wisdom, especially when situations get vastly out of hand, often thanks to the misuse of some chemical enhancements.Here, a young college student is forced to bargain his way out of rural Mississippi using only a sheet of LSD. When the LSD proves stronger than he imagined and the locals embrace the mind-altering drug, hilarious hijinks ensue.
