    I agree with the first reviewer. The Whites are like a train wreck... You want to look away, but you can't! I love Jesco. I had the "pleasure" of running into him in a bar one night in the county where he's from. He is the real deal... not just for show!

    Really not sure where to go with this. I did watch the whole movie, it did draw you in. I concur on the train wreck analogy. Tragic. On the other hand others I know found it funny - I suppose the dysfunction, misbehavior, and idiotic decision making can be funny?
