This is the first John Waters film I've seen, and I hope his others are better. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Nonetheless it is occasionally cute and sometimes funny, but suffers from uninteresting characters and an unimpressive plot/story to begin with. In this film, Waters seems to go out of his way to be clever and idiosyncratic, but winds up being sensational and trite. Like I said, I hope his other films are better...
