simplycharming_1-643-537145 Jessie is the epitome of a nice guy. He's the kind of dude whose girlfriend actually feels comfortable breaking up with him during sex. To combat those post-coital break up blues, Jessie gets his hands on a sheet acid that he shares with two college friends. His amigas have a major trip-fest, and sabotage his engine with adorable critters and "tittie beads" (as they were so eloquently termed by the character Paul). The modified car mechanics land Jessie stuck in a quaint little town in Mississippi en route to his hometown St. Louis. After befriending Paul and Luke, two local bumpkins, Jessie sets out on a quest to reach "Missoura" (pronounce it any other way, and you'll confuse residents). During his stay in the Southern non-destination, Jessie meets many colorful characters who all want to take a trip into Bake Town. Their drug facilitated fellowship with Jesus, glitter, paint, wine coolers, and sticks help Jessie find kinship in the most unexpected of places. His nice guy demeanor—and drug peddling—bring together a small, trailer park band of misfits. Clearly, being a nice guy isn't so bad.This indie movie was very funny. Not every line was a winner, but I found myself laughing and smiling more often than not. And, that's more than I can say for many of the larger budget films that find themselves produced by major movie companies each year. I loved the character Paul, played by a talented Michael Dardent. His Southern drawl, Aquiline nose, and easy going attitude really made him look like a dark- haired Matthew McConaughey. Or, was it just me? Regardless, his performance, along with Brent Phillip Henry (AKA Luke the Ultimate Fighter) was hilarious. There's definitely something there with this ensemble of cast and production team. I look forward to viewing their films in the future.

sjayjayw I was lucky enough to watch TPJ at the Tivoli in St Louis. I got to meet the director Sean Gerowin, and TPJ at the show. With a personal touch Sean told us that the movie was more or less a true story. He talked about TPG's And the rest of the cast's personal history, and their role in the movie. Many times I wanted to yell at the screen at the lead characters. For me a great movie makes me think and feel. I want to escape into the story, leave reality behind, only like good movies can do. And TPG does just that. I was surprised on how great the story was, all in all good acting. I was wrapped up in the story so much, I wanted to help Jesse myself. The whole experience left me wanting more.

phriend-735-638858 An independent film classic. Movie making as an art form. The story highlights the real life adventure of a college student's road trip through rural Mississippi and a stop in the town of Cleveland. A wide variety of off-beat characters help make his experiences unforgettable. Highlighted by Michael Dardant as Paul and Brent Henry as Luke, the actors cover a wide spectrum of rural Mississippi trailer park life. The film also features a great soundtrack and filming at on-scene locations. Special visual effects take you to the place where the characters are and allows the viewer to meet Trailer Park Jesus in person. Great follow up to Let's Rob the Cheese Shop. Gerowin has made tremendous strides in cinematography and production values.

Fayegraham Pirateinkfaceandbodyart I thought this movie was hilarious, due to the fact that it IS so true to life. I have been around each and every one of these characters, in my own life time at some point or another, living in Reseda, California:) Hell, when Jerry Garcia was alive, this WAS the scene at every Grateful Dead show across the USA! Ahhh I miss those days and this film brought me back. I also love ice cream, a little more than I did before seeing it:)I cant wait to see the unseen bloopers.Well done cast and writers:)Faye Graham New Orleans La
