babs johnson ( divine ) live in a trailer with her son cracker and her daughter cotton and her mother edie ( edie massey ) . she in competition with a couple name connie and raymond marble ( mink stole and david lochary ) to be name the filthy person alive . the film show their attempt to outdo each other . this film be very much not for everyone . it a in your face no hold bar assault in bad taste . cracker have sex with a woman with a live chicken between them while his sister watch while the marble pick up female hitchhiker and impregnate them and keep them chain in the basement and sell the baby to lesbian couple while divine and family have a party which include cannibalism etc etc . it disgust but and in a way and not unwatchable . it so over the top and be so unapologetic about it that it kind of fascinate . a director john water might say and it bad taste do well . also it kind of amuse to watch the acting be so wretched ( especially by massey ) that you just watch it in disbelief . a friend laugh out loud at how bad massey be ( she improve in late picture ) . this be not for people who be easily offend . even though it over 30 year old it still shock . however if you have an open mind and can take a lot of extreme behaviour this be a must see . the only part that really be too much be what divine do at the very end .
