Rating (out of 5):

     Giuseppe Andrews is a unique force in the movie community.  Andrews has starred in one of the most popular coming of age comedies, Detroit Rock City before playing an iconic role in the cult hit 2001 Maniacs.  However, Andrews is better known for his role in Cabin Fever and the sequel.  Most people don't know is that Andrews is also a no budget director is several dozen films under his belt.  Several of his experimental and exploitation flicks has been released by Troma.  After I watched Jefftowne last week for my first episode of Tromatic Thursday it was only fitting to follow that up with Andrews' Trailer Town.  This hixploitation flick is the second film in the Toxic Twins Pak.  What the fuck did I just watch?!
     The film follows a group of people who live in a trailer park as they confess their love for each other and brag about sexual conquests.
   










     I had no idea what Trailer Town was about but I could not wait to watch.  Sadly, before I started Tromatic Thursday I didn't really have the time to watch Troma movies for fun.  Trailer Town was not the film I was expecting but it did offer some laughs.  The acting in this one is horrible.  The cast is literally reading from a sheet of paper or something like it off screen with no character development or attempt to gather emotion.  Instead, they smile the whole time and read carelessly from the paper.  The acting may be bad but it still brought many laughs which only fits this film.  The story for this one is not there.  The film doesn't have a story, character development, or a real end.  The film consists of scenes between characters reading their lines.  That is it.  The film starts out funny with the dialogue but quickly runs its course by the 30 minute mark making it difficult to finish.  Finally, this one is bloody and violent so those of you wanting blood will not find it here.  Instead, it is a crudely acted and edited but captures the trailer park lifestyle.  Overall, Trailer Town is a funny film but reuses the same routine over and over again resulting in a stale film.  The lack of story renders it almost unwatchable.  If you want a laugh with some friends after a few beers toss this one but tackling it sober will result in a bad time.
