thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, esse filme do John waters teve poucos cenas pesadas,mais teve, como dois adolescentes entraram na casa de uma velha e atiraram nela e depois outra cena foi divine viu seu cachorro enforcado por uma corda na cozinha de sua casa, o filme não teve uma história boa, E eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Mason M I'm not the most familiar with Waters' earlier work, but I loved this film and its style here. Polyester is a hysterical comedy that perfects its absurdity and satire of romance films to make an amazing time. Divine and the rest of the cast all give amazingly over-the-top performances and Waters somehow makes a great film out of poor taste. This is a great film for if you need a good (but not so sophisticated) laugh. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Alec B Its an interesting transition for Waters as he was moving from his down and dirty early stuff to somewhat more mainstream studio movies. It is funny as a crass Douglas Sirk spoof but the problem is that every performance is in the stratosphere and that type of hysteria can be exhausting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review dave s Seriously? I mean…like, really? What is the appeal to John Waters and his movies? It's hard to imagine anyone even thinking about laughing at any point in Polyester. It's the story of…wait a second…there really is no story. Francine Fishpaw (Divine) has a dysfunctional family. That's about it. It's horribly overacted, the dialogue is terrible, and the whole thing looks amateurish. It's mind-boggling that anybody would even consider recommending this, Odorama or not. There should have been an eleventh spot to scratch on the Odorama scratch card – the stench of foul garbage.
