Awesome movie!

This is one of my favourite no-budgeters, and one of my favourite punk rock movies. I can't believe noone is using the message board! (I also can't believe it got released on DVD!)

It's a weirdly fun and innocent movie despite the rape, murder and real-life drugs use. There's really nothing I can compare it to - some say pre-Pink Flamingos John Waters or Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, but Desperate Teenage Lovedolls has its own thing going on.

I haven't seen the sequel. I hope the DVD created Love Dolls fever and we can see a third one!

This is indeed a fun movie. Suprised no one has posted anything here. I knew a few of these 'actors' so that makes the movie alot more cool for me. Long live REDD KROSS!!!

This was an entertaining movie. It was fun, campy, and tongue in cheek. I never saw the sequel though.

I read that this film is in the running
for worst movie ever.

Far from the worst film ever, have you even seen it? It's one of those quirky films you either get, or don't. It's safe to say it's the best film ever made for a budget in the low triple digits. I think it's absolutely hilarious and oddly compelling. An eighties LA Punk scene redux of "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" by way of AIP or Dreamland with a kick-ass soundtrack. I love it.

yeah this pretty much sums it up. I thought it was awesome. But it's definitely an either you get it or totally don't kinda film.

I just saw this film and loved it. This movie is a total riot. The dialogue is often sidesplitting ("Thanks for killing my mom"), the thrashy punk soundtrack seriously smokes, the girls are really cute and hot, and Johnny's nightmarish bad acid trip is simply astonishing ("My fingers -- they're breathing!").

I love this film too. I know Dave Markey and although i wasnt around when it was made, I feel this is great movie~! The rocker chick who gets raped is probably still a babe!
