Ann picked this up for a few bucks at Best Buy, mostly for the John Waters commentary track. And while she knows every line by heart, I must say that while I do find it entertaining, I’m not enamoured of it in the way I am some of the other great cult classics out there. Maybe my opinion will change if I see it again or if I watch more YouTube video tributes like “Abba vs. Mommie Dearest” (I mean, hell, any movie that can inspire that HAS to be worth something.) It’s funny, when this movie came out, I remember people taking it seriously. I remember my Great Aunt Bert going on and on about how devastating this movie was to watch. And Ann and I were howling with laughter. Go know. Overall, very entertaining. Come to our house if you want to see it — Ann is always up for another viewing.
