I really had no intention of watching this because of its reputation but after seeing John Waters do a hilarious comedy routine / talk, I relented. I'm surprised by how much I liked this.
The chicken thing was definitely my least favourite part and Edie annoyed me though she became more tolerable as the movie progressed.
Overall, I enjoyed the weird, fun tone of this movie. Divine's performance was good. The characters were quirky and memorable. Mr. Jay's narration was amusingly campy and a nice touch.
I think to appreciate this movie, you can't take it at face value at all. 11 years 5 months ago -

"It should be considered not as a film but as a fact, or perhaps as an object" - Roger Ebert
This definitely one of the worst "objects" (to use Ebert's terminalogy) I've ever seen, grotesque but otherwise absolutely pointless 8 years ago
