A seriously divine comedy about the twisted and perverted American family life that only John Waters can deliver.
This film revolves around the main character, an aging housewife played by the transvestite Divine. Divine is married to a smut peddler and has two kids, Lu-Lu a girl who dances for the boys in exchange for quarters and Dexter the paint huffing/foot stomping fetish obsessed son. Than there is a new lover for Divine played by the macho Tab Hunter. Sickly fun for the whole family. John Waters even presents the film in the extremely token Smell-O-Vision. I love Waters' over to the top story lines mixed together with large doses of perversion and sleaze. Watching this movie is the equivalence of being forced to ride Mr. Toad's Wild Ride for two hours in the midst of an Ether binge..... it's just that good.
