Featured review
Sordid lives is a candid account of the south and what happens....Its camp but so is life the humor is over the top but then again white trash is too. If your southern and have a friend or friends who are gay you may have met some of these characters ( I do and have)... The only part I didn't find believable was the break out of the nut house although it was a hoot. I like this movie Delta Burke and Olivia Newton-John were both a stitch....The clothes, sets and make-up were right on I mean really I am southern I come from a small town this people are just wandering around here, u can't swing a dead cat without hitting one or two.... The stereo-types are exact but then again small minded people all tend to act the same way hence the term
