I sat down and watched "Skipped Parts" and I found it to be pleasently surprising. As I watched this, I came to realize you could insert this Southern family into any other rural area in the United States. They are just as closed-minded as certain Southerners are now and then. Even though suffers from a lack of a few thematic elements, it is well-written and acted out nicely. Jennifer Jason Leigh had the best part in the movie as the skanky, partying mother. Bug Hall and Mischa Barton did really well playing a pseudo-mature couple who have a child but both end up not together (that aspect is pretty horrifying). Overall, I think is a pretty humorous and well-rounded look at what the consequences of sex can get you if you live in a small town in the 1960's. I give it a 9 out of 10.
I think the running joke in "Skipped Parts" is "insert your own rural area here". Every little town in every state has those who are biased to outsiders regardless of the naivete they possess. Here ends my rant!
