Jay Mazza Even though I watched this on my iPad, which is an inherently inferior experience to the TV or big screen, I laughed out loud several times. With mainstream comedies, I generally say I like a film if it makes me laugh once. Though clearly a low budget effort, the film delivered on several levels. The first was obviously the humor. The second was the tongue in cheek dialogue of some of the characters. Thirdly, the direction was very creative particularly the shots that had some of the members of the cast in a dream sequence at the beach. Finally, and even though this was possibly budget driven, the film was not overly long. Too many comedies these days milk the concept for way too long. By making the film take place over one long day in one man's life, it seems true to life. Of course, in an over the top way that is the hallmark of most good comedy.
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.
Ashly Cristia Trailer Park Jesus is freaking awesome!!!!! I loved the characters, the editing, the effects and the story-line. They did a fabulous job putting this together, i was pretty surprised actually. I think they did an AWESOME job creating the LSD trip with all the visuals and silliness. A genuinely good-hearted film that made me want to get all my friends together to trip out! I was cracking up the whole entire time, i loved it! Lots of moments where you catch yourself cracking up laughing out loud. It was super unconventional and silly and one of the best quirky movies I've seen in a while. I wish these guys would spew out some more films!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say this movie is beyond worth the hour and a half out of your life!
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.
