Waters, who went on to direct genuine pop-culture classics such as Hairspray and Serial Mom, made this celluloid sideshow with one aim--to make a name for himself. It worked. He does have a genuine eye for filmmaking (when the trailer burns down, you feel the white heat of Divine's pain and anger). On the other hand, you won't notice any disclaimers about stunt doubles and animals not being mistreated. There weren't, and they were. Welcome to the filthiest film in the world. --Grant Balfour
Female Trouble John Waters expands the definition of female trouble in this mutant tribute to good-girl-gone-bad drive-in melodramas. The girl is, of course, cross-dressing cult icon Divine, Waters's plus-sized muse. Divine is at her most gleefully outrageous as teenage brat Dawn Davenport, who runs away from home and into a life of wanton hedonism all because she didn't get cha-cha heels for Christmas. Almost immediately she's molested by a sleazy motorcycle thug (also played by Divine--is this Waters's idea of "love thyself"?), but she doesn't let motherhood interfere with her plans of stardom and turns herself into an unlikely fashion statement in an apocalyptic fashion show. Waters's fourth feature, a follow-up to the midnight movie hit Pink Flamingos, is just as cinematically primitive and even more gleefully vulgar, right down to the electric climax of Dawn's road to everlasting fame.
The DVD also features a commentary track by the always-entertaining John Waters. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of John Waters Collection #3: Pink Flamingos/ Female Trouble
You Have to Be a "Certain Kind of Person" ...Read: Insane. But, being slightly insane myself, and loving the movies Pecker, Hairspray, and Polyester, I one day decided I was ready for something a little more hardcore. Well...I got it. <
>I saw Female Trouble on IFC one night, and thought it was wonderful UP TO A POINT... I got a little freaked out around the time Dawn's exploiters get her her own show. But, that was nothing compared to the ending, at which I reacted with genuine horror--I am not kidding. Divine scared the s**t out of me in that final scene. <
>Don't get me wrong--I would still buy this--I would just stop the movie when it starts getting too weird, unless you want to show your friends what Waters' movies used to be like. <
>However, not having seen Pink Flamingos, I can't speak for that film. I can imagine that it is much of the same though. So, Female Trouble is hilarious, absurd, and wonderful...until it goes off the deep end.
I Told YOU CHACHA HEELS-BLACK ONES!!!!!
I was introduced to John Waters during my first year at NMSU and was immediately addicted to everything Divine and John Waters! to think this stuff was allowed to make it on film during the 1970's is quite something. John Waters loves to push the envelope and not take himeslf seriously at all. This is what makes his films so insane, delicious, campy and without a doubt NUTS! Pink Flamigos is that wild tale of The Filthiest People Alive and the lives of thos who hate them with a burning jealousy. Divine stars as well, Divine the undisputed queen of all this filth since this is her title and motto. She lives in a trailer home with her retarded mother, Crackers her insane son,and Cotton the traveling blonde companion. They live blissfully together until 2 jalous perverts, Raymond and Connie Marble attempt to steal that title away. Well, this only gets worse and the end result is a totally gross out battle, a disgusting party, a burning trailer, lesbian couples seeking children to adopt and so many insane events to mention. The next film featured here is Female Trouble with Divine as Dawn Davenport, Cookie Muller, Edith Massey,Mink Stole, and the late David Lochary. The premise is not as stomach churning as the PF however, it does have its revolting moments. The story centers on a teenage Dawn Davenport who is upset when her parents failed to give her those much desire cha cha heels for XMAS!!!! As a runaway teen she has no recourse to end up pregnant (with Mink Stole as Taffy)and winding up marrying a heterosexual hairdresser from the Le Lipstick Beauty Salon where she meets the notorios owners, Mr. and Mrs. Dasher!!! these two are hell bent on getting Dawn involved in a life of crime. What is so amazing here is the imagination that it took to dream up such weird and insane stories. There never is a dull moment here folks. But I do promise that you will feel paralyzed by Joh Waters and his legendary cast of Dreamland players. This is the stuff that would wind up on tabloids and really freak you out. This is another must have in your trash cinema collection
It's good to get dirty.
These are the dirtiest... and perhaps the funniest films ever made. I first saw Pink Flamingos when I was 14 (!) and I loved it. Female Trouble is the better movie when it comes to storylines, but the outrageousness of Pink Flamingos is unforgettable. Divine's performances are terrible, yet terrific. John Waters really knew what he was doing when it came to these two cinema classics!
