"What is the deal here? why does everyone love this movie? it su**ed! the music is depressing, the story is absurd, and jack nicholson did not deserve any award. to tell you the truth, this movie shouldn't have even been released! what is this film's point? sorry people, but the guy who gave it one star is the only one here who knows what he's talking about. as for the rest of you, who knows?"
"A riveting and hilarious black comedy, this is John Waters very best mainstream film. Waters is a brilliant satirist who always walks on the wild side. Kathleen Turner is terrific in the title role. She sinks her teeth in the morbid character with perfect glee. The supporting cast is also great, especially Mink Stole who finally gets the full exposure she deserves. She proves once again why she's perhaps the most versatile and talented member of the Waters repetoir of actors. The movie is crude and hysterical and in my opinion the best black comedy in years!"
"You can't pass up this dvd! If you like the movie, it's a terrific value for the inexpensive cost. I was quite surprised to find a sharp letterboxed transfer (somewhere between 1.66 and 1.85? ) that isn't mentioned on the package. There's also another hysterical commentary from John, behind the scenes footage, the theatrical trailer, and all the television spots from the ad campaign. I was pleasantly surprised to see HBO video produce such a great disc for an underappreciated film! If you're even thinking about getting it, you should..."
"It is too bad and a crying shame that the transfer to dvd of this great movie has been cheapened. It is no better than the vhs version so i see no reason to upgrade. sorry to see the video is not even anamorphic and the dolby dig transfer is no better than the vhs audio!! what a shame!"
