Teddy B Divine's hilarious and larger-than-life personality as well as some really snappy dialogue makes up for shoddy camerawork and egregious scenes that drag extraordinarily (church scene, for example. You can see how low the budget is through this scene, especially, only Divine keeps it going). Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Cole T Multiple Maniacs shows an important display of American counterculture as does Divine. However the film overall is pointless and shows no actual plot or reasoning. There is a fine line between being "campy" and being ridiculous. And this while also being extremely confusing, is ultimately pointless. On top of all the this the acting isn't exactly adequate to say the least. The only thing that is perhaps appealing about this movie is the grit and nerve to input many of the things that were in the film that would've been considered "taboo" for that time. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Tyler B Divine looks beautiful and menacing in black and white. This raw performance from the dreamlanders will shamelessly stand throughout the ages. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A time capsule of John Waters shock methods. They really didn't care about acting, costuming, sense, or narrative continuity. Just 1970 zany shocking situations and emoting. You do have to appreciate the time it was made to get it. In 1970, John Wayne won the best actor Oscar for True Grit. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The beginning of the cultural reset that is John Waters' and Divine. If a little long, it is still as hilarious and lurid as Pink Flamingos or Female Trouble, and it's got all your favorite Dreamlanders in one place! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Filthy, disgusting, vulgar, cheap, cheaply made, sacrilegious - and wonderful in a way only an early John Waters movie can be. And, of course, starring the always fabulously devine Devine. Curiously, there are lengthy scenes more or less true to the story of Jesus - but it wouldn't be a John Waters movies without being interspliced with scenes of Divine getting a rosary stuck up her ass for ecstatic sex in church. The miracle of the fish and loaves features canned tuna and Wonder Bread. Johnny C sez check it out, but only for the cultiest of cult flix fans..
