A Dirty Shame is certainly dirty, and maybe it's even a shame. But this is the John Waters we've come to know and cherish, and that alone is cause to celebrate.

Easily the most surprising comedy of his career. The surprise: it's not funny.

John Waters has returned to trashy form with what is unquestionably his most outrageous film since those heady Pink Flamingos days.
