Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I absolutely cannot believe that i sat down and watched this garbage. I guess I wanted to se4e Jaime Pressly (Angel) from My Name is Earl, even though I don't watch the show. Along with Presley was William McNamara, with a long history of movies I have never seen, who played the stepfather who was boning her; TV star Molly Hagen, who played the mom who boned Angel's boyfriend after she caught her with her husband; Michael Jai White who boned both of them; and lots more TV personalities that made for more trash. I cannot imagine how Angel had energy for her step-daddy after she was earning all that extra money in the motel where she worked as a maid. Well, you get the picture. Florida trailer trash at it's best.

I have seen this movie and I don't understand why everyone spends 3 paragraphs talking about how horrible it is. This movie was clearly never intended to Win best picture- And I am sure the Producers and Directors were aware of that while filming. The intent of the movie is to make fun of people and the way some people live.I actually thought the movie covered every base, everything from the magazines lying around their house, to the food they eat, to hanging out at the laundromat! Obviously nothing you can take too seriously, but I got a kick out of it.6/10

Let me start by saying it's not THAT bad. It's in no way Oscar material of course, but it is not horrible. It's the type of stupid comedy that makes you roll your eyes and laugh at the same time. I'm a huge fan of the "Scary Movie" series, although I and no doubt everyone else who has seen those movies will agree they are inherently stupid. This movie is pretty much the same thing, except based on the "Jerry Springer" show. What separates this movie from the show is the "behind-the-scenes" look at a group of people slated to appear on the show, including white trash duo and mother and daughter Connie (Molly Hagan) and Angel (Jaime Pressly), Detroit "sistas" Starletta (Wendy Robinson), Vonda (Tangie Ambrose) and Leshawnette (Nicki Micheaux) and Startletta's unfaithful boyfriend Demond (Michael Jai White). Several points in the movie make (or attempt to make) you feel pity for these characters, but not in the way it was intended, I don't think. Towards the end of the movie, Jerry has this big long monologue about how people eat up the troubles of celebrities but when it comes to poor people, they can't digest it as well. I was more compelled to feel sorry for these characters for their "great unwashed" status rather than the problems they faced themselves. So, overall, I thought the movie was quite entertaining (although stupid), but fans of the actual show (which I am not) might not find it as satisfying, because the movie contains several moments that are serious and try to teach a deeper lesson that may seem out of place with the usual hijinks.

It's highly stylized, but this movie shows that real people appear on these shows and what seems like good fun and a chance to appear on television can have serious consequences.Yes, i's mostly comedy, but there are some sad moments.
