VHS Movie Reviews of Pink Flamingos (25th Anniversary Edition) [VHS]

Movie Review: Serial Mom is still my favorite...
Summary: 4 Stars

I didn't get this one for me, I got it for a friend. But I couldn't find it to rent-so I bit the bullet and got it from here.
It's one of those so gross it's funny movies-I admire John's ideas, but some are so ridiculous, you can't help but laugh at them, so people I guess didn't get the joke-I did, it wasn't hard either.
Like other customers have said, comedy or not this isn't for anyone with a weak stomache, cause there are a couple scenes that are pretty gross, Serial Mom is still my favorite movie by John Waters, but this one clearly explains why he's dubbed the king of bad taste, and he wears the crown proudly. A word of caution, the last minute tops everything, make sure you've digested your meal way before you see it, trust me.

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: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great cult classic! John Waters always makes a masterpiece and he didn't fail with Pink Flamingos. I absolutely love the movie. I would definitely recommend it to someone who has a little bit different taste in films.

Movie Review: Hm...
Summary: 4 Stars

NEVER watch this movie alone, or in a small group. IT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE WHEN VIEWED IN A LARGE GROUP! There is so many things that make you say, "ah, I really didnt want to see this," that you will never make it through the film. However, if you can manage to see it on the big screen in a room full of 100 people, go for it. It then becomes an experience, and while the gross scenes are not any less gross, they do become more funny. The best way to describe my reaction to the film is I was cracking up more then I have at almost any other film; there were tears in my eyes. However, while doing so, I was not able to look at the screen because I just couldn't watch.

That said, if you're not able to get past the... well, let's call them speed bumps... then you will not enjoy the film. In other words, dont take anything you see to heart. It's a film, be grossed out then forget about it when the next scene starts.

Movie Review: Did I just see what I think I saw???
Summary: 4 Stars

Where do I begin? If someone asks me if I have seen this movie I think that I will be too embarrassed to tell them the truth. Yes! I watched it all the way through. I even rewound parts to make sure I seen what i thought I seen. Yes, it was what I thought I saw. Not for the kiddies, I can tell you that much. Be prepared to alter your top list of all time weird and disgusting movies. This is the champion!

Summary of Pink Flamingos (25th Anniversary Edition) [VHS]

This is the movie that made John Waters famous, and quite possibly the film that made bad taste cool. Yes, Virginia, a large transvestite actually eats dog feces as a kind of dizzying denouement to this frequently illogical and intentionally disgusting movie, but by the time that happens, you're already numb ... and you've possibly laughed to the point of losing bladder control.

The plot revolves around two vile families laying claim to the title "The Filthiest People Alive." You've got pregnant women in pits, you've got grown men getting sexual satisfaction from chickens, you've got people licking furniture to perform trailer-park voodoo, and you've got classic lines like: "Oh my God! The couch ... it ... it rejected you!"

Waters, who went on to direct genuine pop-culture classics such as Hairspray and Serial Mom, made this celluloid sideshow with one aim--to make a name for himself. It worked. He does have a genuine eye for filmmaking (when the trailer burns down, you feel the white heat of Divine's pain and anger). On the other hand, you won't notice any disclaimers about stunt doubles and animals not being mistreated. There weren't, and they were. Welcome to the filthiest film in the world. --Grant Balfour
