I've never seen a John Waters film until today. I was largely dismissive ever since I saw a documentary about him in the late 80s which focussed on Pink Flamingoes notorious dog poo scene. Well, maybe I regret having waited so long to see this absolutely daft musical comedy starring douche-bag supreme Johnny Depp and a cast of Waters' regulars such as Mink Stole, Traci Lords, Ricki Lake and Joe Dallesandro. It has some really catchy songs and memorably lunatic scenes and OTT acting. Even if you don't like Johnny D anymore, this is a good reminder of the before times when he had so much potential. This was made earlier than his first tango with Tim Burton in Edward Scissorhands too>>!>>!
