John Waters' cult film is worthy of the label. It's not a roaring success and some scenes leave a rather bad aftertaste, while others are funny, weird, or both. It's a pretty messy affair and the presentation leaves a little to be desired, but if you like oddball cinema, it's definitely worth a shot.
