A Dirty Shame is certainly dirty, and maybe it's even a shame. But this is the John Waters we've come to know and cherish, and that alone is cause to celebrate.
A big, lascivious punch line about America's peculiar, embarrassed, hypocritical relationship with sex.
John Waters has returned to trashy form with what is unquestionably his most outrageous film since those heady "Pink Flamingos" days.
Embracing ugliness, lousy production values, and borderline hysteria as virtues, A Dirty Shame is one for the cultists, a proud retreat back into the sandbox of sexual juvenilia, a potty-mouthed manifesto from an elder statesman of shock.
The humor is more childish than raunchy, but it's interesting to see that becoming a big-time Broadway impresario hasn't led Waters to sell out his affection for gross-out gags.
Predictable outrage.
Monotonous, repetitive and sometimes wildly wrong in what it hopes is funny.
