John Waters trying to hard as usual!
30 April 2019
So yeah....Another Garbage movie from a a very sexually disturbed film artist... still trying to figure out the appeal of John Waters, and having a hard time when i view drudgery like this.I am a big fan of Cry-baby and wish he would make more light hearted affairs like that. Seems like most prefer his older more obscure material, and well i'm not one of them. The plot is ridiculous, acting is annoying and even though i don't mind a good shock, gore or exploitation flick, mind you if they are entertaining in some way, but this is just shock for the hell of being shock. john waters tries to hard to shock all the senses, and in turn overshadows the great potential of subtle social commentary found within, that is usually so brief that it never really has time to seep deep enough into to the pscyhe and ponder one to think further, because the viewer is usually immediately bombarded by following scenes of perversions and deprivity.

another john waters dissapointment for me.. well hell atleast he gave us cry- baby!
