Editorial Review: Amazon.com: John Waters expands the definition of female trouble in this mutant tribute to good-girl-gone-bad drive-in melodramas. The girl is, of course, cross-dressing cult icon Divine, Waters's plus-sized muse. Divine is at her most gleefully outrageous as teenage brat Dawn Davenport, who runs away from home and into a life of wanton hedonism all because she didn't get cha-cha heels for Christmas. Almost immediately she's molested by a sleazy motorcycle thug (also played by Divine--is this Waters's idea of "love thyself"?), but she doesn't let motherhood interfere with her plans of stardom and turns herself into an unlikely fashion statement in an apocalyptic fashion show. Waters's fourth feature, a follow-up to the midnight movie hit Pink Flamingos, is just as cinematically primitive and even more gleefully vulgar, right down to the electric climax of Dawn's road to everlasting fame. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hairspray without the music and production values, or any valuesDivine is a goddess of crime and beauty. Mink Stole steals every scene she is in (for 14 taffy you don't look so good). There are many elements that made there way from this film to Water's big budget Hairspray. Mostly the teenage years. Not for the faint of heart but so funny. This may be Waters first film with a plot. Rating:  - Nice Girls Don't Wear Cha-Cha Heels!John Waters' 1972 PINK FLAMINGOS was an unexpected "midnight movie" hit, a highly deliberate exercise in ultra-low taste done in a low budget, guerilla-film making style. The 1974 FEMALE TROUBLE was Waters' follow up. It suffers from being unable to top PINK FLAMINGOS--but really, now, what could? So it may be best to judge the film on its own. The story is a riff on 1950s and 1960s "good girl gone bad" B-movies. In this instance, however, it would be better described as "bad girl ...

The simple, cheesy sets look like they may have been stolen--from the city dump, that is; and the script isn't all that hot, either. What does save this movie to some degree is the rather good acting. For example, I like that Divine clearly worked so hard to make his characters (he plays two roles) larger than life and completely over the top. The action begins when Dawn Davenport ... Read More Rating: - One of the Best Movies Ever MadeFemale Trouble is quite honestly one of the finest examples of film making ever made. I would rank it at the absolute top of it's genre. Without John Water's breaking the mold, the humor of Sex and The City, Ab Fab, and everything that has follwed would not have been. A pin point perfect commentary on true-crime fascination and celebrity obsession decades before fame craving, talentless Lindsey, Britney and Paris took the stage. Rating: - FANTASTIC movie...I've been meaning to purchase this DVD for a while now but never got around to it. Once I saw it on Amazon, I was able to purchase and have it at home within a week and a half. The movie is absolutely hysterical and everything that is John Waters. Definately one of my all-time favorite movies but not for the faint of heart. If you can stand grotesque humor...this movie is for you! Browse for similar items by category:
