Devils A Probably the most famous Drag Queen is Divine, one who will stop at nothing to show how crass and big a movie star and maker of music that makes you want to dance, and that is why I give this movie a *5* star rating!!!!! By the way, no family was perfect back in those days, everybody knew just what their neighbors were doing and keeping it quit!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member what the hell is going on Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member From director John Waters and filmed in Odorama comes one of the rare films featuring an LGBTQ lead Divine stars as a transvestite frustrated housewife, Francine Fishpaw She tries to maintain her sanity while taking care of her dysfunctional household Elmer, her husband and the owner of an adult theater, is sleeping with his secretary, and her delinquent teen son, Dexter and pregnant teen daughter, Lulu (Mary Garlington), aren't helping matters The townsfolk are also protesting her husband's profession bringing money from adult themed means But when Francine meets dashing Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter), the owner of a theater specializing in art films, her life appears rosier She might've actually found some semblance of happiness Oh and did I mention Francine has a unique sense of smell? It's her gift The movie doesn't have any real focus and the plot really stretches out for long periods of time There's a lack of concentration on what should move forward This was alright Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The cheesy melodrama is at odds with the camp of Waters' style, and there is something a little too clean about it. Like you can feel the studio system forcing something more polished here. But it's still gonzo and entertaining enough, the Odor-Rama was a nice touch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/20 Full Review Audience Member Unsure as I am about what I just watched, I'm even less sure about what I just smelled; but like the scent of piss after drinking a full pot of coffee, there's something divine about a thing so rancid.
