A Dirty Shame

A John Waters film, so you know it’s weird. A real white bread couple have a daughter who’s got ginormous implants and due to her public nudity, she’s been arrested and put under house arrest at her parent’s house. There’s a hilarious scene at the beginning where the music in the background is all about smokey the bear and it’s all bearded fat guys in overalls whistling at the white-bread mother (Tracey Ulman). Johnny Knoxville plays a tow-truck driver named Ray Ray who is a sexual healer and turns Tracey Ulman into a sex maniac. This movie is simply a mechanism to use as many clichés for sex as possible. There’s lots of boobs, and oddly, it’s one of John Waters’ more coherent films. Still waaay out there, but it’s got a plot. It’s pretty amusing actually.
