Anyone seen this movie? It came out in 1997. It's a Harmony Korine flick, the same guy that did kids (a GREAT movie if y'all haven't seen it either). The movie is a quasi-documentary. There are only 5 experienced actors in it. It'd try to explain it but it's basically a must see. And it's also one of those you either hate it or love it. The movie has no plot and is a sequence of events that take place in Xenia, Ohio, a redneck town that had a recent Tornado. The movie is ONLY for the open minded. If you get easily offended then i'd skip this one. Personally, I really thought the movie was great. It exposes some realities in America that people don't talk about and I think it also gives a pretty good message about life. Anyways, I thought the movie was REALLY good and if you liked the style of kids and aren't one to get offended by such content then i'd watch it.

I've seen this. I thought it was halarious. Your right about the easily offended part, but the movie is still good. If you look past the cat killing part, and remember that it isn't real people (which can be hard to do) it's a rip roaring good time comedy slap fest.

Every time I see that main kid in another movie (most recently The Royal Tenenbaums) I always yell out "Look, it's Gummo!"
