Carter & June

I love this movie! It reminds of the TBS show CLAWS. It is uncouth and irresistible, with a heavy helping of trashy.

Yes, it takes place in New Orleans. Yes all the characters are cliched for region. Yes, the entire plot and premise are truly fantasy. But.....It Wasn't That Bad.

The gf and I checked it out after a pretty intense day and it had everything we were looking for. Comedy, action and a couple solid twists. It had more boob shots than we expected but she conceded that there was a good variety of boobs so it was worth it for science.

If you don't have a decent sense of humor, then this film is not for you. Period. "Carter & June" is worth seeing and adding to one's movie collection. It has dark humor throughout it. The entire cast and crew knocked it out of the park.

To me this movie is something like an Elmore Leonard story using characters from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. If you like the usual Elmore Leonard structure (low-level criminals with good hearts taking on nasty high-level criminals), and you like the sort of brainless, social incompetence you see Charlie, Dee and the gang display every week, then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy it.

And it avoids the two worst sins in so many movies; the pacing never flags, and it's never obvious what's going to happen next.

I honestly don't know why it has such low reviews. I HATE most movies, and yet I loved this!
