Movie Reviews of Pink Flamingos
Movie Review: this is a timeless classic from john waters
Summary: 5 Stars
john waters was years ahead of his time, or of his time, and his time, was ahead of most other people. in this early seventies classic, waters touches upon themes(not just pertaining to smaller town america) that are still funny, gross, and current today.
the cast is as choice as the context, divine, mink stole and edith massey, certainly stand out. the hilarious plot and characters, just crack me up, everytime i watch this move, and on dvd, it does contain extras, for the long devoted fan or newcomer alike, a worthy addition.
this movie (and generally, the work of john waters) has been so inflencial. you don't have to be gay or straight, or both, to enjoy this movie. it really is totally enjoyable for any adult mind open to cutting skits and dark humour. it's a brilliant beer and movie night gem, and i promise, you'll need, to check out more of john waters' work, and divine performances.
"one of the most vile, stupid and repulsive films ever made" the sleeve exclaims! - they're not wrong - but you have to add "hilarious!" the state of it! at the very reasonale price asked new, or on marketplace, of course, it's such a good bucks to laughs ratio!
get a copy, today, get your friends over, beers in, and put it on. your guests jaws will drop, and there won't be a dry eye in the room afterwards. tears of laughter! try this: slap on rocky horror, then house of 1000 corpses, then, pink flamingos... fantastic!
also check out john waters''female trouble','polyester' and 'desperate living' if you love 'pink flamingos'.
buy, and enjoy! your life will never be the same!
Movie Review: If there was ever a movie to change your life...
Summary: 5 Stars
It's Pink Flamingos. It's Devine; not in a cross-dressing sort of way... but as if God reached down and slapped some sense into me. If Transformers 2 would have had a singing butt featuring "Papa Oom Mow Mow", it still wouldn't come close to this masterpiece.
Since watching this movie, I've switched to broiling my meat to simply strapping it around my thighs and walking around in high heels. The workout one receives from this, from the calories it burns to the big calves, is second to none (except perhaps if someone were to do P90X with the meat strapped to their thighs while wearing high heels). I've now found that I'm able to beat my father's friends at naked Twister when I visit him at the adult assisted living home (the number one excuse for losing seems to always be they're tired from just having sex).
So forget about reading "The Secret" again; besides, laws of attraction don't work when you're reading a book alone. Go buy this immediately and throw yourself a "meat and greet" viewing party. You'll be amazed, like I was, as to how your social and sexual life will change.
Movie Review: A delicious exercise in bad taste
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been wanting to see the "worst movie of all time" for quite a while now, and let me tell you, it was a real treat to see the movie that John Waters is most maligned for. Viewers should know what they are getting into, and if they can handle it, the battle for the title of "filthiest person alive" is pure campy fun. I'm impressed with any movie that can still shock the pants of viewers who see it three decades after its original release.
This movie has every filthy act around--murder, rape, cannibalism, baby trafficking, kidnapping, sex acts involving live chickens, some steak stored between a transvestite's legs, a tar and feathering, incest, and execution. Sound like something you want to see? None of this is done in a dark or scary way, in fact, the movie is overwhelmingly bright and pink. After an hour and a half of pure filth, Divine ends the movie with one disgusting act to prove once and for all that she is "not only the filthiest woman alive, but also the filthiest actor alive." Also, stay tuned at the end of the DVD for terrific commentary by John Waters.
Movie Review: Everything you've heard is true!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Revolting, disgusting, stomach turning, and freakin' funny! Divine is at her divinely best as Babs Johnson aka The Filthiest Person alive. I'm not going to give away anything, the shock value is just too good. It's fun watching this movie with people who have never seen it. I've seen reactions from people leaving the room to actual gagging! It's wonderful! But honestly, the movie is laung-out-loud funny. The dialoge, which can be a bit wordy, but never boring, is some of the best I've ever heard. Watch out for some great characters like Edie the egg lady, pure genius! Babs' birthday party scene has to be seen to be believed. You wouldn't believe me if I described it here.
The extras are great as well. John Waters hosts a good number of deleted scenes and does a great commentary giving us lots of little details about the making of this wonderful low-budget piece of art.
If you don't watch this movie you will never know what all the talk is about. Plus, you will have missed one of the greatest "cult" films of all time.
Movie Review: what can i say?
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple years back, I saw "Cry Baby"... I really enjoyed it so i decided to check out the Director... Of course, when I type his name into Google, Pink Flamingos is everywhere! I read the controversy and decided I needed to see this movie ASAP! So, I got it for my birthday... a few of my friends and I sat down to watch it.. and WWWOOOWWW!!!!! It really is the "most vile, stupid, and repulsive film of all time"... and I loved every minute of it! Come on, you watch TV/Movies to see whats out of the ordinary, who wants to escape everyday life, just to watch everyday life? So if you are closed-minded, judgemental, and can't handle a little scandal... please stay away from this movie... but if you are open-minded, a little crazy, and seen a thing or 2... then this is a HILARIOUS CULT CLASSIC! 5 stars! john waters is a creative genius whether appealing to families in "hairspray", or sick and twisted adults in "pink flamingos"! - ***** 5 stars!
