Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

symbiophoto I don't think my brain is EVER going to recover after watching " The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" ..... I have always heard people exaggerate about " watching this , or listening to that is giving me a headache" But folks....I can tell you first hand, this movie gave me a literal headache. I had to pause it half way through to grab some advil. I had to pause the damn thing multiple times simply because my brain was ceasing to function. The first pause of the evening, came within the first minute of the movie. If you have watched it, or are going to watch it, you will understand....apparently these people get shot....a lot.... among hundreds of other things. My love and fascination for hill folk suckered me into going ahead and watching this, thinking that after I seen a little gif of the tall skinny old hillbilly man dancing, that this was going to be about hill folk, kind of along the lines of Popcorn Sutton.....well I couldn't have been more wrong in my life. I don't even know what sort of category these people would even be in! I can bet the white trash won't claim them, the hillbillies won't claim them, the rednecks won't claim them....there just ain't even a word to describe these people. Watch if you dare y'all, but don't say I didn't warn you!

webviking6 This is a train wreck of a family and a train wreck of a film. You really get the impression that the jerks (there's really no other way to describe them) who made this film gave the White's enough rope to hang themselves and sat back snickering as they proceeded to do exactly that on camera. Yes, the White's are lazy, shiftless, stupid drug addicts, unfortunately, too many people in this country fit that description. However, the one thought that sticks out in my mind about this film, is that if a similar film was made in the same way about an equally dysfunctional urban black family or reservation dwelling Native American family or any other minority family, the film makers would be pilloried as racist, bigoted jackasses.I feel sorry for the Whites and their addictions. I feel nothing but disgust for every sick individual involved in making this film. They are more reprehensible in every way than the Whites. The Whites are ignorant or drugged out of their minds. The film makers don't even have that flimsy of an excuse.

Ghenghy I must admit, on first viewing I wasn't all that impressed, in fact I had rated this thing a 4, but after watching it a second time, maybe with a few more beers down my neck, I love this flick and I am lauging my AO!OK, the family was crazy, but the problems with this film is that all the interesting and crazy members of this family are either dead or in jail. The rest are just a bunch of redneck trailer trash pregnant women but they are pretty entertaining. I love the scene where Bertie is released from prison, goes to steal her husband from his girlfriend's house, hijacks him to the drug store where they got prescriptions for pain pills filled while the pharmacist originally had married them. hahahahaaThis is a two hour marathon about a bunch of ignorant hicks from West Virginia. We got grandma, her daughter, and a bunch of grandkids sitting around her house smoking pot, snorting pain pills, and drinking beer they cant afford. But then how the hell do they all afford the drugs and cars cause none of them have jobs. You heard me, none of them, not one.I guess I wasn't so impressed with this insane flick cause being from Tennessee and knowing worse families, oh yeah, there's nothing here that I haven't seen before. These guys are a bunch of Pikeys compared to the Jetts, the Stinetts, Blackwells, and the Whiteheads of Marshall County. On second thought I may be a little jealous cause I wont be doing any Oxys, Roxys, Coke, or smoking any pot at my mom's house when I go home for Thanksgiving this years.

solomonmethod I work in a therapeutic residential environment. I specialise in taking care of children who come from families like this. Everyday is a battle to try and undo the behaviours that they learned from the people they grew up around.Drugs and gang culture is the norm. They act impulsively as soon as there's a gut feeling. There is very little planning for the future if any at all ever. No consequence training. No boundary setting. The word "no" is a signal to begin arguing or to throw a tantrum. They tend to be self serving and inconsiderate. I deal with laziness, they're always expecting to be served by others. They put up a fuss when it's their turn to help out in even the smallest way. Also, families like this typically distrust professional institutions run by educated people.They wonder why their lives are the way they are and they can't figure it out. "It must be the Devil in us" one of them says. Change can only happen when people are willing to look at their own selves critically. Life is all about the choices that we make.These guys have a looooong way to go.
