Re: Movie Club Discussion!

[(Anonymous)]

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would based on the premise. It was a lot of silly fun and less reliant on Good Ol' Country Boy tropes than I expected it to be.

I really liked that the redneck theme was refreshingly done without making fun of rednecks just for being rednecks, which is surprisingly rare. Since EVERYONE was a redneck, each character stood out as an ignorant individual or an intelligent individual or an irresponsible individual or mature individual, et cetera, and weren't treated as universally anything as a group, like you see in Rednecks vs. Coastal Elites types of movies.

Two things I wish they had done differently:

- I wish they had done is given more screentime to Clyde. He had the most potential to be the character with tricks up his metaphorical sleeve. He's clearly the lorekeeper of the Logan family and had enough brainpower to memorize every single one of their incredible runs of bad luck, and I wish we had heard more about them and how or why Clyde became the family encyclopedia. He's also the one that knew Joe Bang and his brothers

- I wish they had brought in Hillary Swank's character earlier instead of having Max Chilblain be so prominent. Maybe after the bar fight he could have reported the car incident, then Swank's detective comes in to prove it was the Logans, but has no evidence? Then she's on their tail the whole time, and while the brothers are busy, the sister who's the most educated one of them has to deal with the detective, which would also give her more to do

All in all fun though.

Yeah, it was a very fresh take on West Virginia rednecks.

Maybe if they had brought Swank in earlier, it wouldn't have felt so off the wall with her.

I agree completely with your last point, it'd also give her a reason to doubt Max later on at the end of the movie, since he might been seen as having a grudge.
