Films like this have a way of finding their own devoted fan base, and Gypsy 83 deserves to be discovered not only by Goth and gay crowds, but by anyone who runs screaming from all things average.

Karen Black gives her sharpest performance in years as Bambi LeBleau, a roadside-dive karaoke hostess who invites the kids back to her house for a night of booze and lounge classics.

Only slightly less awkward than its young protagonists, Todd Stephens' earnest coming-of-age drama is able to coast a long way on two engaging performances and some endearing moments.

This offering is a mostly undistinguished addition to the long list of films about alienated and self-pitying young people.

The outsider road picture Gypsy 83 means well, but writer-director Todd Stephens can't keep his aesthetic out of the way.

Couldn't be less involving and more sentimentalized.

There's nothing in this movie to keep you watching. Almost every single character is unbelievable. Its far to melodramatic for whatever it's going for. Not worth your time unless you're into BBWs or guy-on-guy.

We all know deep down in our hearts what Gypsies are capable of. A truly sickening display of avant-garde trash and overweight women in tube-tops (YUCK!). What is even more repulsing are the users who gave this film a score of 10.
