Trash

after reading the two previous reviews of trash, I feel almost afraid to say that I thought the film rocked, but it did, fear aside. Jeremy Sisto showed that he's got some decent acting chops, and to the person who thought Jaime Pressly should have either been a bitch, or showed some skin, all i have to say is ever hear of range? the stand-out though is the actor who played her younger brother bobby. Sure we pretty much know whats gonna happen, but the plays the thing. It isn't where you go but how ya get there. This film is better than most independent films, and it's shot well. I don't know if it's gotten a U.S. distributor yet, so check for it in local film fests, like where I screened it. solid.

I found this movie alarming it was emotional and raw and everyone can relate to some part of this movie all the acting was real the direction was very true and the way it was shot was very spiritual I believe strongly in the whole performance

and commend the creative one!!!

I liked this movie!

The characters were believable and as the story unfolded, it made me realize that people can be victims of circumstance and that there is good in all people. I liked how it was filmed in Florida and that it wasn't your usual "Hollywood" happy ending type movie.

There was a lot of swearing in the movie but nothing I haven't heard in school and if the language was cleaned up, I don't think it would have seemed as real. I have known people like those in the movie who's lives seemed so hopeless that they ended up in trouble.

I thought the little black and white dog was adorable and I would like to see that cute puppy in more movies!

So, if you are mature enough to handle the language and one little glimpse on nudity, I'd say GO SEE THIS MOVIE! I bet you will like it a lot!

Maybe this sort of melodrama might work with audiences that think "Dawson's Creek" is profound drama, but for most people it will go by as just another parade of teenage angst on a big screen instead of on the tube. Everyone feels too much, everyone suffers for their sins, everyone cries, and everyone drinks, but no one is the least bit sympathetic. When the two lead boys commit an act of violence on a senior citizen, any hope of the audience giving a damn about either of them ends right there, and nothing is ever mentioned again about the victim's fate! Nothing deserves to be said about the use of a handicapped child as a dramatic prop who exists only to be the target of another contrived dramatic incident you can see coming from the first time he shows up. The only minor saving race comes in the form of Jamie Pressly from "Poison Ivy III" and Playboy magazine note. But she is there playing a character so goody-good that she might as well not be there. Her natural wickedness and mischievous personality on display to great effect in other films goes untapped. In short, too highbrow to be trashy fun, too melodramatic to be serious drama, too contrived to be credible, and not nearly enough Jamie Pressly to be worth renting at a video store.

This movie was a drama that told a true story of poor teenagers. I think it was wonderful and truthful. Everyone should see this movie to get to understand the life of the less fortunate. It contained my high school which was very exciting to watch. I loved the struggle of Anthony and how he decided not to choose to follow Sonny. I was a great movie and I would encourage everyone to see it.
