This movie is the grossest movie ever made. Forget that, "fun" gross stuff you saw in "There's Something About Mary," this is just plain stupid. The stuff people do in this movie is beyond words. If anyone doesn't throw up at least once during this movie has got to be something more than human. THIS MOVIE IS DISGUSTING. DO NOT SEE IT. PLEASE.

If I could rate this movie with a zero or lower, I would. Use this film to induce vomiting in the case of the accidental ingestion of poison. It is, quite simply, a horrible movie. The acting is non-existent and the plot is as thin as it gets. Sound quality and picture quality alone are almost enough to inspire retching. It's . . . just bad.

Babs Johnson (Divine) lives in a trailer with her son Crackers, her daughter Cotton and her mother Edie (Edie Massey). She's in competition with a couple named Connie and Raymond Marbles (Mink Stole, David Lochary) to be named the filthiest person alive. The film shows their attempts to outdo each other. This film is very much NOT for everyone. It's a in your face no holds barred assault in bad taste. Crackers has sex with a woman with a live chicken between them while his sister watches; the Marbles pick up female hitchhikers, impregnate them, keep them chained in the basement and sell the babies to lesbian couples; Divine and family have a party which includes cannibalism etc etc. It's disgusting but, in a way, not unwatchable. It's SO over the top and is so unapologetic about it that it's kind of fascinating. As director John Waters might say, it's bad taste done well. Also it's kind of amusing to watch--the acting is so wretched (especially by Massey) that you just watch it in disbelief. A friend laughed out loud at how bad Massey was (she improved in later pictures). This is NOT for people who are easily offended. Even though it's over 30 years old it's STILL shocking. However if you have an open mind and can take a lot of extreme behaviour this is a must-see. The only part that really was too much is what Divine does at the very end.

Amazing to see that people actually like a movie that intentionally was meant to be a bad one. Bad script, bad acting and bad filming. From the top of my head, the three main elements to make a bad movie. Quite clearly, Waters made a huge effort trying to make this movie suck. He sure did succeed. So sad to see the sheep flock that tries to make arguments for why Pink Flamingos is a good movie. It's worthless sh*t, and it was supposed to be. Try to imagine music, literature or art that is made bad by intention, which probably have been done a lot of times, and it will probably give you some perspective on why a bad movie isn't a good one, in ANY context.
