The Night of the White Pants (2006) User Reviews

Highly recommended

The Night of the White Pants is a funny, honest, yet upbeat film about a dysfunctional Texas family and the night from hell. Auteur Amy Talkington is on top of her game here: the one liners are priceless, and she obviously knows her way around Texas, the punk rock scene, and the occasional fancy hotel. The film has the frenetic energy of the perfect night out, the authentic ring of a great punk song, and the carefree spirit of a particularly wild prom night for grownups. There's great chemistry between the two leads, Nick Stahl and Tom Wilkenson, while Fran Kranz updates Jeff Spicoli to fantastic effect and steals scenes right and left. Put it this way: Anyone who enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine or Slums of Beverly Hills will love it.

It's Geolicious! (possible spoilers?)

it's punk. it's perquacky. its trophy wives. it's sweet nothings and suite 920. it's a million to one. it's deer heads and twelve tissues. it's a good golf swing and a bad attitude. it's greener grass and the gateway drug. it's a bad heart and a big heart. it's 25%toby and 100% balls. it's doublewide. it's the hagan name. it's riffs and it's raff. it's therapy. it's "Mom?" and it's dad. it's a wedding and a divorce. it's a marriage and a family. it's casual sex and romance. it's breaking and entering. it's about money. it's about dreams. it's about removing the foot from your mouth and getting it in the door. it's a night you'll never forget. it's black hair. it's white pants. it's "F*** EVERYTHING!"

WEll, was fun

Only two reviews on this movie? What the dileo! I feel honored now. The night of the white pants is funny in some ways but a little over the top in others. No stand out characters, no stand out story. The performances are okay, but considering the type of movie it is, don't expect an Oscar winning meltdown. Pretty well known cast for a low budget movie though. That itself says something. It's the kind of movie you watch once and don't talk about the next day at the water cooler. I guess since it only had two reviews, I'm guessing it didn't have much of an audience, but I've certainly seen worse movies. The director was good though. Well put together movie.
