If you have enjoyed films like The Florida Project, American Honey, or Honey Boy, then you are going love Red Rocket. What's it all about? Mikey has returned home to his ex-wife's Texas home (although they are still technically married) broke and bruised and looking desperately for a place to crash. Mikey sweet-talks his way back inside, after all, Mikey is a charmer. He has spent the last decade or so working as an adult film star out in California. That's correct, a male porn star, out of work and out of money. He resumes his former Texas hustle of selling weed out of the local doughnut shop where he meets seventeen year old, Strawberry working behind the counter. Mikey sets his charm-o-metre to high and goes about courting this young lady into not only being his girlfriend, but his cream-filled, chocolate glazed opportunity to get back into porn. Mickey is played by Simon Rex and he has given us a truly balls-out performance. Everyone in the cast is fantastic. This white trash fairly tale is a banger. Catch it on streaming services.
