thiago s @Thiagostone 12/15/2024 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, esse filme do John waters teve poucos cenas pesadas,mais teve, como dois adolescentes entraram na casa de uma velha e atiraram nela e depois outra cena foi divine viu seu cachorro enforcado por uma corda na cozinha de sua casa, o filme não teve uma história boa, E eu não recomendo esse filme.

Polyester is a hysterical comedy that perfects its absurdity and satire of romance films to make an amazing time. Divine and the rest of the cast all give amazingly over-the-top performances and Waters somehow makes a great film out of poor taste. This is a great film for if you need a good (but not so sophisticated) laugh. See more Alec B @Alec97 12/03/2024 Its an interesting transition for Waters as he was moving from his down and dirty early stuff to somewhat more mainstream studio movies. It is funny as a crass Douglas Sirk spoof but the problem is that every performance is in the stratosphere and that type of hysteria can be exhausting.

It's hard to imagine anyone even thinking about laughing at any point in Polyester. It's the story of…wait a second…there really is no story. Francine Fishpaw (Divine) has a dysfunctional family. That's about it. It's horribly overacted, the dialogue is terrible, and the whole thing looks amateurish. It's mind-boggling that anybody would even consider recommending this, Odorama or not. There should have been an eleventh spot to scratch on the Odorama scratch card – the stench of foul garbage.

It's her gift The movie doesn't have any real focus and the plot really stretches out for long periods of time There's a lack of concentration on what should move forward This was alright See more Read all reviews
