Going from the cool anti-mainstream punk-rock aesthetic of his earlier films to the sad mainstream space that these later works occupy is always a letdown when viewing John Waters' output. This one is down there at the bottom of the pile for me as far as his films go right above that last movie he did about sex or whatever. This one is about getting a big Hollywood actress(Kathleen Turner) to do the worst acting possible within a very stupid plot and laugh at her. At least that's what I think the point was. On the plus side it features scenes from BLOOD FEAST , DEADLY WEAPONS, STRAIT-JACKET among other films that I would rather be watching. Also Suzanne Somers and Traci Lords show up which is cool. Maybe this will be the next one of his works to become a big stupid Broadway show.
