    Editorial Reviews

    A riotously funny bad-taste epic from director John Waters, Baltimore's "Prince of Puke," this sick classic tells the depraved life story of obese criminal Dawn Davenport (Divine), from her bad-girl youth as a go-go dancer on Baltimore's infamous Block to her death in the electric chair. Mink Stole is terrific as Dawn's bratty daughter Taffy, conceived following a romp on a junkyard mattress with a fat derelict in soiled underpants (also played by Divine). Mary Vivian Pearce and David Lochary co-star as crazed owners of a beauty-parlor who are convinced that "crime equals beauty," and they take Dawn under their wings, forcing her to mainline liquid eyeliner to enhance her appeal. Edith Massey steals the film as Dawn's obsessive neighbor, Ida, who wants her nephew to be gay (because heterosexuals lead "sick and boring lives") and throws acid in Dawn's face when she marries him. A hilariously appalling film, Female Trouble is just as disgusting and far funnier than Waters' previous Pink Flamingos, if not as notorious. Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

    September 28, 2008: This is John Water's funniest and best constructed comedy of his underground period. Outrageous and Hysterical are two words that are too tame to describe this rollicking and freewheeling exercise in very un-PC moviemaking. Divine, as always, is a delight.

    October 04, 2007: Female Trouble is an epic, it begins with the childhood of our main charecrter Dawn Davenport and follows her entire life right up to her death. People ask me why I love FT so much and the answer is simply, I've seen a ton of films in my life and this was the only one that I had no idea what was going to happen next. There's underground beauty parlors, acid burns, bondage, child abuse, torture, murder, Krishnas, trampolines, mohawks, electric chairs, cults, fashion, fashion, and more fashion. Not for the faint of heart FT is a rollercoaster ride acid trip full on party of a film. It also is the only time an actor raped themself in a film, but hopefully not the last time.
