A Black Comedy About White Trash

Get ready for laughs the size of Texas when Olivia Newton-John, Beau Bridges, Bonnie Bedelia and Delta Burke lead an all-star cast in this twisted, white-trash tale "that pushes the 'fun' in dysfunctional" (Jam! Movies).

The hilariously sordid details about a southern family surface with a vengeance when relatives converge for the funeral of "Grandma Peggy", who dies after tripping over her lover's wooden legs! Toss in a couple of feuding big-haired daughters, a jumpy aunt who just quit smoking (Beth Grant), the scorned neighbor from hell, and crazy, cross-dressing "Brother Boy" (Leslie Jordan)-and you've got an outrageous "train wreck you can't help but watch!" (Chicago Tribune)

Notes
I first saw this film while visiting former LI Ravens member Ron Weber (Motorcycle trip Summer, 2005, with Mike Conley). I immediately fell in love with it -- it's my kind of humour -- small town working class.
