I watched this like a year ago on a weird/bad date with someone but remembered liking it in spite of the company. I just watched it again and it's kind of brilliant.

I really love John Waters films but would say that every other John Waters film I have seen is very subtle compared to this one (and maybe that's saying something, since he's not a super subtle filmmaker). This film was hilarious and really celebrated sexuality in a way that was super queer and raunchy and I would definitely recommend it to people who think "super raunchy queer sexuality" sounds like a good thing.

"Let's go sexing!"

John Waters in old-school let's offend everyone mode. Not as good as it could of been. Divine we miss you.

Initially i thought this film was going to be a ridiculous amount of bumf, oh.. and it was. Fun and ridiculous. Although i must say dirt does not arouse me.

Waters intenta volver a su época old-school. Su gran mérito es haber logrado una película muy sucia y nada explicita. Tiene momentos divertidos, pero termina pasando desapercibida.

Not nearly as clever or provocative as it thinks it is. Kind of boring, actually.

There’s a name for the kind of person who thinks it would be hilarious to craft an entire script out of name-dropping sexual fetishes and tallying up euphemisms for oral gratification: “12-year-old.” John Waters once again indulges his inner sniggering adolescent in this tale of uptight suburbanite Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), whose repressed desires are unleashed after a knock on the head. Waters’ binary universe of prudes and deviants leaves no room for anything remotely insightful about the culture war—it’s a one-joke film in which the one joke is the painfully un-funny mistaking of puerile for transgressive. It’s sad to note that outrageous film comedy has not only caught up to Waters, but has left him in the dust. Without his ability to shock us, he’s just a marginally competent used-to-be rebel, who no longer has Divine around to consume the steaming piles he insists on serving up.

Although not my favourite John Waters film this still has some classic quotes that make me laugh (dildo..wishing well..).
