To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this movie but John Waters remains a very interesting director so I had to watch this flick at some point. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was quite disappointed by the whole thing. I mean, sure, there were a few good ideas and it had some potential but the end product was just pretty lame. For example, you get to see Selma Blair with so... read more

In the suburb of Hartford Road, the middle-age Sylvia Stickles is a sexually repressed woman that hates sex. She refuses to have sex with her husband Vaughn Stickles and locks her daughter with huge breasts and night-club dancer Caprice Stickles in her room, since she is on probation for moral attempt. Sylvia together with her mother Big Ethel lead a group that self-entitles neuter and promotes a decency rally. Sylvia accidentally hits her head on the floor, changes her sexual behavior and follows the sex addicted and sexual healer Ray Ray Perkins, becoming his twelfth apostle of sex in a journey of pleasure and orgasm.

"An absolutely abysmal John Waters sex-comedy about a middle aged woman called Sylvia Stickles who after a meeting with a mystical tow truck driver and a bump on the head, becomes transformed into a sex addict. From here on the whole town seem getting "bumps" on the head and the whole place becomes an uncontrollable sex mad den. It really is bottom of the barrel stuff, more cringe-worthy than funny. What on earth attracted a pretty good cast to this appalling junk is a mystery. The whole movie i"

"A Dirty Shame yhdistelee melko häpeilemättömästi aineksia Watersin varhaistuotannosta sekä menestysvuosilta. Tämä selittänee sen, miksei elokuva täysin toimi. Törkyä on koko tuutin täydeltä, kun joukko baltimorelaisia alkaa kärsiä seksiaddiktiosta. Aiheesta saadaan revittyä tarvittavan paheksuttavaa läppää. Luurangot kolisevat kaapeissa ja kaiken maailman fetissejä tungetaan ihmisten ilmoille. CGI-orava on kyllä harvinaisen ruma, mutta onneksi Hasselhoff käy vääntämäss�"
