Way Better Than I Expected.


So this is a very interesting film. Just saw it for the first time and thought it was unique, funny, disturbing and thoroughly enjoyable. Divine was hilarious particularly in the scene where she is talking gently with her mentally challenged mother about chickens and then 5 seconds later violently cursing out the mailman. The poop thing at the end has to be real as there were no cuts and I'm not sure how you could possibly stage that. It's probably the bravest(?) thing I've ever seen an actor do. The acting is so intentionally bad that it's funny throughout as well. Anyway, I liked it but fair warning there is TON'S of nudity and sex stuff.

8/10
