A Dirty Shame

USA 2004, 88 minutes
Dir. John Waters
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Comedy, Cult

Feat. Tracey Ullman, Selma Blair, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak

Aroview: An outrageous, if obvious, return to boundary-crossing comedy for dir. John Waters (PINK FLAMINGOS), with Tracey Ullman playing a repressed suburban housewife who gets a bump on her head and wakes up a sex maniac.

Guided by "sexual healer" Knoxville into the wondrous world of the carnal imagination, she becomes caught in a conflict between other erotically-charged residents of Baltimore and the 'neuters', also trying to interest her husband (Isaak) in the fun and games. Imbued with a fairly goofy and inane sensibility, this is hardly a moral challenge, and certainly succeeds as none-too-shameful entertainment.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) I don't know too many directors who could make this type of content enjoyable without insulting your intelligence. Terrific bluesy soundtrack. ~Tubbs
