		After viewing Mule Skinner Blues I came away realizing that it was not like many documentaries that I have seen before.
		This helps to show that this is how Beanie really is. That footage was not shot by the director so we know that it is not influenced by his ideas; it is from the real authentic point of view of the character.
		All in all I enjoyed Mule Skinner Blues - I feel that it has the potential to change the documentary film genre because of the way it used elements of fiction filmmaking.

	Mule Skinner Blues - Movie Review
		Mule Skinner Blues is one of those clever ideas that rarely gets captured in a documentary form because it could so easily be taken for a fictional account, and as a feature film it would easily be tossed aside as old hat.
		The affection that Mule has for its cast is so contagious that you are just as breathless to see the fruits of their labor, the short Turnaround is Fair Play as the cast and crew are.
		Mule Skinner Blues is a treat for its depiction on not giving up on dreams when you’re a struggling nobody.

		It is not, I repeat NOT, about Jimmie Rodgers (who wrote the song "Mule Skinner Blues") but it does contain...a less than definitive rendition of the tune by one of the denizens of the Florida trailer park who populate this bizarre little film.
		Mule Skinner Blues tells the story of the making of the film, and provides insight into the lives of the dispossessed, down-on-their-luck, wacky bunch of trailer dwellers you'd ever want to meet.
		Mule Skinner Blues is utterly charming and it's due to the naivete and openness of the people.

	Mule Skinner Blues \| The Death Cookie
		Mule Skinner Blues is a documentary about the residents of a trailer park in Mayport, Florida, who decide to make a horror movie.
		In addition to seeing the triumphs and tragedies involved in the making of Turnabout is Fair Play, a revenge movie involving swamp beast gorillas and musicians, we get to see some (or maybe all, I'm not really sure) of the short film.
		Overall, Mule Skinner Blues comes off as sort of a cross between Dancin' Outlaw and Redneck Zombies, but with better special effects.

	Review of Mule Skinner Blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Mule Skinner Blues (2000), directed by Stephen Earnhart, is a documentary about the inhabitants of Buccaneer trailer park in May Port Village, in Jacksonville, Florida.
		Therefore, this section of Mule Skinner Blues may be the least interesting because this “making of” scenario seems stale; however, there are some interesting images in the location scouting footage.
		Mule Skinner Blue, at times, give us a perspective of people and places (not issues) that do not usually get represented in the cinema; however, it plummets beyond the surface of the personalities and socio-economic environment in which Beanie’s world revolves.

		The result, Earnhart's debut documentary feature, is the irresistible "Mule Skinner Blues," which the American Cinematheque will screen at the Spielberg Theater at the Egyptian tonight through Sunday, with Earnhart scheduled to attend all screenings.
		What's most important about "Mule Skinner Blues," which is about the value of dreams, is that as amusing as it often is, it is even more affectionate.
		Earnhart rightly does not view Beanie, his friends and neighbors as trailer trash, nor even as bizarre eccentrics, but as free-spirited individuals who display considerable talent and the courage to be themselves.

		He enlists the musical duo of Steve Walker and Ricky Lix and the screenwriting talents of horror fanatic/janitor Larry Parrot to make his dream come true: the image of a gorilla stomping around a muddy junkyard in search of his arm.
		Mule Skinner Blues is reminiscent of Chris Smith’s American Movie, another small-town adventure in filmmaking that plays off our urbanite "I Can’t Believe People Live like That" image of rural America.
		From Miss Jeanie (who yodels about the "DUI Blues") to costumer Annabelle Lea (who keeps her dead pit bull in a freezer) and Walker’s Vietnam flashbacks, this is a crew of characters few screenwriters could invent.

	Mule Skinner Blues Standard Release DVD - MovieWeb
		Set in Florida's beach community, Mule Skinner Blues chronicles a group of locals who crave self-expression in the midst of their Southern Gothic lifestyles.
		Chief among the figures is Beanie Andrew, a fifty-something former alcoholic who acts, sings, dances, writes, and lives in a trailer park outside Jacksonville and who finds work as an extra in a music video.
		Most of them are out-of-work shrimpers, such as Steve Walker, a Vietnam veteran and troubadour; Ricky Lix, an ill-tempered blues guitarist; Miss Jeannie, a country singer who also has a penchant for yodeling; and Annabelle Lea, an art school grad and costume designer who keeps her departed bulldog's dead body in a backyard freezer.

	MULE SKINNER BLUES
		The trailer park is packed full of incredibly ambitious people who, right or wrong, believe they're prepared to be The Next Big Thing, whether it's the recently DUI-charged elderly yodeler Miss Jeannie, or dueling drunk guitar players Steve Walker and Ricky Lix.
		Blues is definitely funny stuff, but it's more of the "laughing at" variety than the "laughing with." After a while it begins to get a little tedious, because Earnhart's film takes a few serious turns.
		He's clearly not right in the head (imagine a cross between Cotton Hill and Ian Holm's Bilbo Baggins), but if you're into an old guy talking about his lifelong obsession with gorillas and "gettin' down in the mud," Blues is the film for you.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Mule Skinner Blues
		Beanie Andrews, an ex-shrimper and recovering alcoholic, is the self-proclaimed freak of the Buckaneer Trailer Park.
		At the heart of Mule Skinner Blues is the notion that everyone has a story but that few care to listen.
		Miss Jeanie, a singer who dreams of hitting it big with her song "DUI Blues," almost died on the operating table because doctors failed to notice her adverse reaction to fresh air.

		Everything they did was at the top of their lungs, from sister Rose's effectively braying twang and tittering, high-pitched asides to the brothers' nuclear-charged postwar fusion of boogie-woogie, Western swing, and California honky-tonk.
		The biggest problem is the fact that the song "I Want to Live and Love" is here twice, once under it's name and once under the name "New Mule Skinner Blues." That is an almost unexcusable error in a collection this important.
		I want to live and love (their theme song) actually gets in twice, because the record company made a mistake and included it as track 12 where they meant to put New mule skinner blues, as indicated by the track listing.

	NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: TRAILER-PARK DREAMER FINDS HIS INNER GORILLA By MEGAN TURNER
		THE boisterous and daft documentary "Mule Skinner Blues," about a motley crew of trailer park denizens banding together to make a schlocky horror movie, is very funny.
		It's also heartbreakingly sad, but, thanks to the deft touch of New York filmmaker Stephen Earnhart - who admirably resists the temptation to mock his subjects - there's an uplifting thread of optimism running through it, too.
		If all this sounds contradictory, that's because "Mule Skinner Blues" practically defies categorization.
