Oooohhhh I do, I luuuuuv this movie. It is pure, raunchy, dirty genius. Perfect balance of filth and entertainment, bravo Mr. Waters, nobody could have brought those two elements together as good as you.

It definatly falls into the so bad it's good category. As long as film does'nt have me looking at my watch to see how longs left it's a good film in my book.

I don't see why everyone says John Waters films are "so bad they're good." You wanna see one of those flicks, check out "Mommie Dearest." I think the writing and (most) of the acting in this film is amazing-- and better than a lot of the crap that gets made nowadays. :]

Definitely not superior to "Female Trouble," though. THAT will forever remain his masterpiece!

I love it. I have most of the John Waters movies. It is a slice of americana. Funnier than hell.

"Many"? It's a *beep* 5.8, that's a pretty mediocre grade. Though I'm pretty certain this movie'll be hilarious for ME as well! :D

Its one of my favorite "bad" movies of all time. I mean that in a good way. Just appeals to me for some reason.

Best ever movie! '...made his wife wait in the car.' 'Ray and Connie Marble, You stand accused of ...' First time I saw this was at the Elgin in NYC and it was the midnite show after 'Fillmore' - the concert movie. I hadn't heard of it, but figured why not? We were "mellowed" out pretty well - remember when you could smoke in a movie theater? Greatest time ever - laughed all the way through and was so naive I didn't know Divine was a man! I read about the movie the next day and then got a big crowd to see it the next weekend. Laughed just as much and everybody loved it - or hated it!

Somehow don't think that this will make it to Broadway, like Hairspray and CryBaby.

I hope he makes some more! He recently was interviewed and said he had two more movies in him and that's it.

as a cinema connoisseur, i appreciate that this movie 'exists'. I admire walter's general anti-hollywood style. it's always good to balance the 'spectrum' of entertainment.

That being said, i think anyone who 'loves' this film should watch it again NOW & sober.

It's certainly unique and unforgettable, fitting for it's time. But certainly nothing to be studied, copied or admired.
