polyester be the very first john water film i saw and and i have to say that it be also the bad movie i have see up to that point . water group of talent include several people who i be sure work for food and and be willing to say the line water write . every thing about the movie be terrible and acting and camera and editing and and the story about a woman play by 300 lb transvestite divine be purely absurd . that say and i have to recommend this film because it be very funny and and you would not believe the crap that happen to poor francine . her son huff solvent and stomp unsuspecting woman foot at the grocery store . her daughter be the sluttiest slut in town . her husband be a cackle a hole of a pornographer who do everything in his power to embarrass and humiliate poor francine . francine only friend be play by edith massey and possibly the bad actress ever . edith look and sound like she be read the line off a cue card and have never see the script prior to film . despite all of francine travail and water cook up a fabulous hollywood end and everyone ( who survive ) live happily ever after .
