White Boy Rick

Father & Son: Matthew McConaughey & Richie Merritt

The Movie Slut wanted to like White Boy Rick, the movie and the kid. It was based on a true story about a teen living in Detroit in the the 1980s at the height of the crack epidemic who becomes a drug dealer due to extenuating circumstances. The kid gets no breaks. A sleazy, oily Matthew McConaughey is his dad. His sister is a bug-eyed, sloppy junky. The hardhearted Feds use and abandon him.

But try as she might, the MS just couldn't care.

Maybe it was because the story got lost under an avalanche of drugsploitation. How many drug-infused parties attended by Neaderthalian lowlifes can you sit through before losing you patience and screaming at the big screen?

The MS will now say words rarely seen on her blog: Skip this flick.
