Amazon.co.uk Review
John Waters expands the definition of female trouble in this mutant tribute to good-girl-gone-bad drive-in melodramas. The girl is, of course, cross-dressing cult icon Divine, Waters's plus-sized muse. Divine is at her most gleefully outrageous as teenage brat Dawn Davenport, who runs away from home and into a life of wanton hedonism all because she didn't get cha-cha heels for Christmas. Almost immediately she's molested by a sleazy motorcycle thug (also played by Divine--is this Waters's idea of "love thyself"?), but she doesn't let motherhood interfere with her plans of stardom and turns herself into an unlikely fashion statement in an apocalyptic fashion show. Waters's fourth feature, a follow-up to the midnight movie hit Pink Flamingos, is just as cinematically primitive and even more gleefully vulgar, right down to the electric climax of Dawn's road to everlasting fame. --Sean Axmaker

Synopsis

Customer Reviews

Sick but very funny
Follow Dawn Davenports twisted but very funny life as she heads to the grande finale, the electric chair! John Waters early movie's are not really for the faint hearted, so avoid if your stuck watching "Friends" and "Big brother". If you love independant movies, and like something that is very different, and your have a slightly sick sense of humour, watch this movie! You won't regret it.

amaZing comedy from -john waters(god i love him)
his films are LEGendary...but out of all that i have seen this one seems to stand out the most...and is one of the most hilarious comedies that i have ever seen!!
DIVINE is fantastic in every scene he's in...he will be missed.
it is occasionally vulgar but all for good measure and although gross out it has a hard impact that makes you feel for the characters...and what characters they are:P aunt ida is scene stealing.
its basically a really dirty carry on movie...only far classier...and arguably more enjoyable...may offend some people(ie south park before south park)a genuinely great film from the pope of trash(but its so much more than that)john waters has to be one of my favourite directors due to him taking the fun out of everyday life and pushes the humor off the boundaries(thank god he did)his best film to date along with the classy serial mom,and who doesn't love hairspray(1988(the real one)):):)
