Fender Lizards

adventurous

funny
Endearing slice-of-life drama about a young roller-skate waitress who lives in a Texas trailer park with her extended family, except for her Dad, who wandered off years before, and her uncle, who lives in a van outside. When a rich boy asks her for a date, I got the jeebie jeebies thinking this was going to turn out to be a certain type of story, but thankfully it isn't, and it's mostly about her finding her Dad, finding out the truth about her uncle and training with her fellow waitresses for a roller-skate derby. The poverty is heartbreaking, the people are wonderful, and life is full of ups and downs. Wonderful
