Wordiezett So much average
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
owenwilliam I rarely give anything a 1/10 but this movie earns it for not making any sense and doing disgusting things that the actors actually had to go through just for shock value
jessikanc86 This film is filled with the most vile things You can ever imagine so needless to say it is a masterpiece and a one of a kind film!!
guanche Sort of a cinematic Zap comic. Probably the most disgusting movie one will ever see, but also one of the funniest. The apogee of sick dark humor. Despite the low budget and semi or unprofessional actors (except Divine and Mink Stole) it's surprisingly well acted and scripted. It even has a coherent plot about a war between the Divine clan---"The Notorious Babs Johnson (Divine), her traveling companion Cotton, her delinquent son Crackers, and her mentally ill mother Miss Edie"--- and a sleazy Gothic/pseudo-hippie couple, Raymond and Connie Marble--- who; in addition to peddling smack in schoolyards; kidnap and imprison hitchhiking hippie chicks who are then raped by their butler to produce babies for sale to lesbian couples. His indirect method (graphically depicted) of masturbating into a syringe and injecting the semen into the women's vaginas is cut from some prints. The Marbles are furious that National Enquirer affected their "social standing" by declaring Divine "The Filthiest Person In The World", a title they believe they own. Raymond even shoots up some dope for the camera to put a point on it.The film is rife with graphic, perversely comical sex and violence, as well as some truly stomach turning scatology. Except perhaps for really twisted minds, there's nothing sexually stimulating here---just revulsion and deranged hilarity. A scene where Divine fellates "her" "son" is also cut from some prints. If anything, this material will put most people off of sex for quite a while. There are a few scenes--- one in particular---that are truly revolting. I say in all seriousness that those with weak stomachs should probably avoid this film. I know a couple of people who were actually traumatized in this regard (I'm not joking) and even decades later get nauseous at the mere mention of the title or the star. A definite must for adventurous filmies willing to brave some of the worst gross out images imaginable in exchange for a raucously funny, way off beat cinematic experience. Those unwilling to do so should stay away!
Irishchatter I really thought this movie was all gonna be just action. I wouldn't call it even the best but, still it would be good to try and enjoy the film! Instead it was just bland and boring!This is my first time seeing Divine, I really thought she was just your typical drag queen, she honestly would've been better if she was starring in A-list movies. Although, finding out that she ate real dog feces would make you sick! Seriously, this is worse than the TV show "I'm a Celebrity"! I only watched 10 minutes of the movie and it wasn't that great. The camera kept shaking, so you wouldn't really concentrate on what's going on. The acting was pretty horrible, they look as if they were acting in a musical, not a black comedy! I swear to god, what was John Waters thinking of casting the actors?! I think I've said enough, all I can say is this movie is crap and poorly made! This is one of the worst movies that was ever created!
