The shenanigans have been pared into 84 minutes of transgressive, potty-minded farce, that is often Waters at his most cheerful and most thematically focused.
If this movie does anything to rally crowds against cinema's mass distribution of mediocrity then it has served a noble purse.
The comedy is frantic and tasteless in the usual Waters mode, but it takes telling potshots at the Hollywood establishment, which isn't nearly so open about the tackiness of its products.
It's the cinematic equivalent of one of those prop guns where you pull the trigger and a little flag comes out of the barrel, waving gaily.
Not so much a movie as a self-contained world for like-minded people who wear their outsider status on their sleeves.
Weighed down by the presence of Griffith. She plays her satiric part without much gusto or conviction - as if she were afraid we might believe she really is Honey.
Appears to have been written and directed by a grade-school dropout snorting airplane glue.
