Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

John Waters' 1972 cult classic "Pink Flamingos" is among the most reviled, infamous, and daring films ever made. Waters pushes the boundaries of the entire art of cinema, forming a film as disgusting and shocking as possible. Many have both praised and harshly criticized this film for its explicit X-rated gross out content, and it has grown to become one of the most talked about cult movies of all time. Many people have claimed that this film is very "disturbing", but I am going to have to disagree. There are highly disturbing concepts portrayed in the film (incest, rape, murder, cannibalism, eating literal dog sh*t, etc.), but the film itself does not take itself seriously in any way. To be perfectly honest, I was having too much fun to be disturbed while watching this film, not because I'm a sick pervert or anything, but because this film is really damn funny! The fascinatingly bizarre characters, the ridiculous over the top acting, the quotably strange lines of dialogue, and the satirical edge all work together to make this film more than just a filth fest-but a masterpiece of dark humor. Never before have I seen such a sick and vile film that has a playful self awareness and almost celebratory vibe.However, I will admit that there was one scene that genuinely disturbed me: the infamous "chicken scene". I have witnessed many gruesome acts caught on camera and it takes a lot to make me legitimately concerned, but that chicken scene is actually shocking. The fact that it is all real is indescribably f*cked up. I will warn animal lovers that that one scene may trigger some extreme outrage and sadness. However, this took place years ago and at least the crew made use of the dead chicken by cooking and eating it afterwards.Anyway, if you are willing to watch something unbelievably filthy that is injected with extremely dark humor, "Pink Flamingos" is certainly the way to go!

How the hell this movie got average rate over 6 ?!It is very close to be the ultimate winner in stupidity contest. One of very few most stupid things I ever had misfortune to see.Of course, it could be even worse, it could last more than 90 minutes... This movie was banned worldwide because of nudity, perversion, and complete lack of morality. But in mu opinion that's not the worst thing about it. It should be forbidden because of extreme stupidity and terrible terrible acting.My recommendation - avoid it at any cost.

I really thought this movie was all gonna be just action. I wouldn't call it even the best but, still it would be good to try and enjoy the film! Instead it was just bland and boring!This is my first time seeing Divine, I really thought she was just your typical drag queen, she honestly would've been better if she was starring in A-list movies. Although, finding out that she ate real dog feces would make you sick! Seriously, this is worse than the TV show "I'm a Celebrity"! I only watched 10 minutes of the movie and it wasn't that great. The camera kept shaking, so you wouldn't really concentrate on what's going on. The acting was pretty horrible, they look as if they were acting in a musical, not a black comedy! I swear to god, what was John Waters thinking of casting the actors?! I think I've said enough, all I can say is this movie is crap and poorly made! This is one of the worst movies that was ever created!

First of all, I want to quickly squeeze in that the dialogue is wholly atrocious. I can't stand it. Now for the review...John Waters misses the mark in Pink Flamingos, overshooting avant-garde paraphelia to eye-rolling licentiousness. The plot revolves around two parties with an overly uncanny fetish for filth (coincidentally not too far from each other). Why or how such perversion in their lives came to be is never explained. Even the setting is almost anachronistic in nature.I watched this movie finding myself without care for any of the characters amidst this misfire of art. John Waters may have set the benchmark high for sickness in cinema, but watching it without any rhyme or reason implores me to wonder why I'm bothering watching any of it. If John Waters wanted to prove something by producing this movie, he grossly failed (pun absolutely intended).It could be possible (albeit highly unlikely) that John Waters made Pink flamingos "ars gratia artis," but that failed too. The utterly shoddy camera-work coupled with the haphazard film editing is a quick recipe to make a movie unwatchable. Waters has never cooked it more perfectly.My least favorite movie is Freddy got Fingered. That movie is mindless shock humor. Coincidence? I think not.
