This is meant to be bad and it is far from politically correct THANK GOD!! There is one strong warning! Once you see this, you will never be able to see his later crap. The only thing he did that was good since this film was Serial Mom.

Oh, my F*ing god. I've always heard of the deviance of John Waters, and have seen a few of his films. Where 'Pecker' or 'Hairspray' seem eccentric and strange, this one tests the limits of shocking perversities, and then crosses the line! I can't say if I love it, yet. I don't even know if it was a good film, but it sure as hell grabbed me by the balls and didn't let go. If you have any interest in exploring what the limits of brutally psychotic, perverted dark humour are, then you NEED to see this. If not, then don't.

This is what I would consider a John Waters Fairy Tale...if you could imagine that. The story line is pretty funny theres a queen, pissed off towns people, a princess whos unhappy, yat yat; and in the end everyones happy. This movie made me laugh a bunch of times and is a great twisted fairy tale. So in conclusion this is a very John Waters film, if you like his earlier work you will not be disapointed.

I love Waters' movies. HOWEVER, this is one of 2 movies in my life I took out of the DVD player before it was finished. Gross it was, neither funny nor entertaining it was. Stick with Serial Mom, more conventional, I know, but entertaining!

I don't know who this movie got into my queue, and did not watch it. I have no use for the description of the movie, nor do I think John Waters is any kind of director. Divine as an actor to me has no talent and so I did not waste my time. I went right back to trade it in for a good movie.
