Review of Female Trouble (1976) by Aimee . — 20 Dec 2006
"I'm a thief, a shitkicker, and I want to be famous.".
Although Female Trouble doesn't quite live up to Pink Flamingos it certainly is one of the funniest and the trashiest Cult movies ever made.
Yet again, Divine shines and showcases her hilarious acting talents all the way through. Mink Stole's performance also stands out as Taffy, Divine's bratty daughter.
The dialouge is fabulously over the top and full of comic one-liners, the characters are colourful and outrageous, this movie is like Pink Flamingos minus the vulgarity (although it does have it's moments) and Hairspray only a little less camp and more trashy.
Luckily, Female Trouble was made before his Hollywood crossover, Waters was still young, and he obviously loved making movies when shock value was still shocking, and he didn't have to strain and think about it so much - he used his imagination more. All of Water's earlier movies are far far greater than any of his later ones. See this movie if you want to see something funny and different! You won't regret it!
