Not a stinkaroony.
You probably won't watch this one with all your friends. It definitely is for acquired tastes. If you're into John Waters type, semi trashy films, that strike back against certain self righteous groups, I would say you will enjoy it. This is probably how they enticed JW to do the religious figure cameo, in the drug induced strip bar sequence. The characters are funny and quirky with a quasi-realistic trailer park charm. I give it 4 stars for doing what it does well. The staging of the musical number could have been a little shorter without taking away from tne story.

Never laughed harder at a movie before
Seriously one of the funniest and most off-beat movies I have ever seen. I cant compare the humor in this to anything else I've ever seen but I fully feel like everyone should check it out. Some of it is over the top and some of it is so subtle, but its all amazing none the less. I feel like it takes a certain type of person to enjoy this movie ... and I, at least, am just that person.

Hilarious!
I'm glad I took a chance on watching this - totally worth it! I love movies that are ridiculous with crazy characters and all kinds of weirdness, trashy humor, just everything was perfect! New favorite movie for sure!

Perfect, Fun cult classic in the making
Ok... I loved this movie. Saw it at a film festival in Provincetown. It's perfectly quirky and darkly funny. Jennifer Coolidge is hilarious... It's sort of a throw back to 70's comedies and it's interesting to see that done now in the land of big budget studio films... a must see for anyone looking to laugh and not take themselves too seriously.

Great Movie, Well Put Together, A Classic
A great movie, so much different than what is out there. I enjoyed it so much and highly recommend it but not to the masses but to the few who can appreciate art in film.- Jose

A Shocker!
Possibly the worst, most amateurish movie we have seen, especially considering the (mainly!) excellent cast. To compare it to 'Sordid Lives', as the cover blurb did, is in our opinion, a grave insult to a classic movie. Badly written, filmed and directed, with a very poor lead, it's an all-round, shoddy production.
