Reviews

When I ran a music store, juggalos frequently offered to make me a mix tape when I'd say I wasn't a fan, and none of them ever followed through.

Despite the absolutely brilliant movie poster, the juggalo aspect is a fairly small part of the plot. It is more Bad Teacher meets McLovin's part of Role Models, with a juggalo filter applied. Frequently laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly sweet. Whoop whoop!*

* Whoop whoop is the call of the juggalo. I'm not one but throwing it out there in support of the film.
