Laff-fest sensation and parody queen Anna Faris (of the Scary Movie series) appears vis-à-vis Laura Breckenridge and Justin Chambers in Southern Belles, written and directed by Paul S. Myers and Brennan Shroff. Faris and Breckenridge play Belle and Bell, two trailer-trash Georgian zeroes. Desperate for adventure, and craving a move to urban Atlanta sprawl, the women hatch a nutty get-rich-quick scheme. Their plans appear poised to succeed -- until one of the girls threatens to upturn everything

A goofy, dumb, grating lightweight comedy that's crying out to be a TV sitcom.
Seems to exist in a trailer park fantasy world, one in which nothing truly unpleasant ever happens and all of the citizens have unexpected pools of wit and wisdom hiding just beneath the surface.
Funnier than just about 75% of the really expensive Hollywood yukfests, plus it's clearly conceived with just as much heart as goofball irreverence.
Slightly disappointing. Funny in parts, flat in others, it's really down to a more jaded than usual performance from Anna Faris that it didn't totally fail. While the ending was a bit underwhelming and left me wanting to know a bit more of what had happened, the "two years later" documentary on the dvd was ridiculous

A campy look at Southern stereotypes which might offend those that take it too seriously. Not side-splitting humor, but should generate some chuckles of familiarity.
