Movie Reviews of Pink Flamingos
Movie Review: The Girl Can't Help It!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the trash movie from which all other bad movies should be judged by! The Grandmama of filth, Divine SHINES like a turd in this one!
Leave it to the Pope of trash, John Waters to set the record straight on the All American practice of "Keeping Up With The Jonses!" As Divine proudly states in this film: "It's virtually impossible to be filthier than Divine!" And SHe proves that point in the end by proudly scarfing down on that dog's spoor!
My favorite scene:
Where Divine shoplifts that steak between HIr thighs! Later when SHe is cooking it, HIr daughter remarks how good it smells. Divine replies, that it ought to, cause SHe kept it warm all day in "HIr own little oven!!!"
King George W. wouldnt like this movie. However if you have been warped in the 1970's by the National Lampoon, and if you have not seen the most infamous movie ever made, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????!!!!
Movie Review: An examination of bad taste
Summary: 5 Stars
"Advocate cannibalism. Eat sh*t."That quote is from the wonderfully grotesque woman named Divine a.k.a. Babs Johnson. [...] I never thought I could be so repulsed by an American movie. Especially one from the early 70's. But man, I nearly lost my turkey dinner.Pink Flamingos has some extremely graphic depictions of incest. Some cannibalism thrown in just for fun. Plus a sex slave/baby ring. But what takes the disgusting proverbial cake for me is the sex scene involving a live chicken. Director John Waters reply to the outcries from animal rights advocates was something like "Well, chickens get butchered every day. This one got to be in a movie, get laid(again), and then become lunch for the film crew". Somehow I doubt they agreed.This campy movie is filled with other outrageous examples of bad taste. But it also has some great character development and quotes. A raucous good time.Movie Review: "Please Remove Yourself From My Office!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is hilarious! It's so good! Judging by some of the low reviews this movie has received, it's pretty clear that these people have no sense of humour and probably grew up in the Bible Belt of America living under rocks with no clue of anything involving creativity.
People, this movie is SUPPOSED TO BE GROSS, IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DISGUSTING, IT DELIBERATELY HAS BAD ACTING...all these things make this movie so appealing. The main character is a transvestite, her son has a chicken sex fetish, the mother is obsessed with eating eggs and lives in a play pen, the villains have red and blue hair and keep girls impregnated by their chauffeur locked in the basement...how could it get any better??
I laugh harder everytime I see this movie and I'm sure anyone with a sense of humour will strongly agree and find it equally as amusing!
Movie Review: Long live the egg man!
Summary: 5 Stars
A rollercoaster journey of comedy and perversion. Yes this is the film that pretty much launched John Waters and Divine's careers and it still packs a punch after all these years. Since purchasing it I have viewed it at least twice and every time I laughed and cringed. The memorable lines, the gross out acts and the sheer who gives a f**k attitude makes for one terrific time even though you might feel a little numb in the end. One can only try and wonder what was going through people's minds who dreamed up this shock fest. It is one of the cinema's lasting contributions even though the acting at times is wooden and the plotline really makes little sense. A must have for all DVD collections if only for Posterity
sakes. The ending itself will leave you feeling queasy for weeks to come. By the way, just how much is that doggy in the window?
Movie Review: This movie is a timeless masterpeice
Summary: 5 Stars
For john Waters this is were the prototype for his movies begins- warning this movie isn't for the Forest Gump crowd. This movies is lewd and against common decency and taste- and there is the beauty of the movie.I read alot of negative reviews from the Christan- Putin type, individuals who just don't comprehend cinema that is out of the mainstream. The story- characters are thin at times- but you will piss yourself from laughter- John Waters would go soft and do alot of movies that were more mainstream, such as Pecker and Hairspray- but believe the hype- this movie is better then you heard. This movies pushes the boundies of what is socially acceptable to show in a movie- and what is art if not only a reflection of society but a reflection of one self- the influence this movies holds even today is impressive.
