Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

The ordinary denizens of a small Southern town become natural subjects for filmmaker Errol Morris in Vernon, Florida, a hypnotically bizarre character study. Based on the evidence of the film, this small humid town in the panhandle is home to a disproportionately high percentage of oddballs. (On the other hand, Morris's other work suggests that poking a camera anywhere uncovers a common vein of weirdness.) Some of the material comes across as sideways homespun wisdom: when a man gazes across a swamp and marvels at how much water is out there, he adds, "And that's just the top of it." Hard to argue with that. Then there's the jar of sand the contents of which, its owners swear, has been growing in volume over the years. And a hunter's descriptions of the near-orgasmic highs and lows of turkey hunting is a monologue that would have impressed Faulkner or Thomas Wolfe. It has always been an open question whether Morris's blank-eyed camera is encouraging the viewer to laugh at his subjects or simply presenting the world as it is. You'll laugh, and more likely be astonished. --Robert Horton

Turkey Hunter (2004-03-01)

You hear a turkey gobble and you'll forget all about your diahrea. It's the best diahrea medicine in the world.

We was working our way down through some palmettos. Now palmettos are kind of offset. When I got as close as I could get I eased out real slow and ease it up and(whew) pow! Got her off. It hit the ground like a toooon of bricks. And here he is(points to turkey beard) with about an eleven inch beard.

Now you got a ball here and a ball here and a ball here and a ball here. And if all those balls are functioning... you're not a one track mind - you're a four track mind. I can write cat s--t with one hand and dog s--t with the other.

Greatest Documentary of all Time (2003-11-01)

This is the best Documentary I've ever seen in all my life. Its nonstop laughter the entire time. I really wish they'd rerelease Vernon Florida on Dvd, it'd be simply great!
