Very tough film to review.On one hand the acting and music is first rate.On the other,the story may be offensive to some,silly to others.I liked it although I did find it sad that some would aspire to a "white trash"lifestyle,rather than just make the best of it.Thus I took 1 and 1/2 stars off.Still the film is memorable and if you liked "Saturday night fever"this is a sort of southern vs the brooklyn northern white trash of that film.Different elements to be sure as well as music but at the end of the day…………
