    So hilarious...I could listen to this man talk for hours...especially when he is answering all the questions you want to know.

    The fabulous John Waters on stage talking about everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask him. He speaks about his films, the actors he's worked with, the reactions he has received, the directors he's loved and his crazy fans. I love this guy so I was happy to get the chance to see this film. Thanks to comedian Jeff Garlin for capturing this bizarre and brilliant American man.

    Unlike the synopsis says, this isn't a doc on Waters, it's Waters live doing some stand-up with some reflection on his movies, inspiration, actors, incidents with censors, hobbies, and just suggesting some things that everyone should be doing, like instead of expensive lobbying, just send some drag queens to a politician's house to make snappy remarks about the wife's fashion sense, or making the Army all-volunteer lesbian because "they'd find Osama Bin-Laden". Waters also has some great anecdotes, like how Divine crawled around in pig shit on an early shoot, how a fan whipped out a fresh bloodied tampon for Waters to sign at a book signing, when Polyester came out, his delight at every film-goer globe-wide interested in sniffing the fart smell on the Odor-Rama cards, and when he screened "Pink Flamingos" for a special group of his pupils (a prison class of convicted murderers) they all responded with "you are seriously fucked up man!".
    If you like Waters (esp in interviews or chatting about film-stuff) then you must see this.

    Terrific spoken word/stand up performance by John Waters, who waxes poetic about his films, his career and philosophies on life in this 90 minute film.

    Fun stuff, check it out!

    Absolutely hilarious filmed lecture (like An Evening With Kevin Smith) featuring provocateur/director John Waters telling antidotes about his films, casts and life. He is a strange, strange man and you can not help laugh at his unique point of view

    It's always great listening to John Waters, whether it be on a commentary track or an interview. This film is no different. Waters is always engaging and Garlin really never interferes with the show. Good stuff.

    I don't really see this as a "documentary" - I mean it's just John Water's doing standup - using his own movies and life experiences to get some laughs and entertain. He does for the most part. There were some truly funny moments, but also some just not funny and you see that as he's in front of a live audiance - so there were moments that just fell flat - but amusing moments as well - he does push his limits - but this IS John Waters - so if you watch this and find yourself offended by it - well duhhhh! For John Waters fans and more of a Waters Filmography lesson than anything else.

    Entertaining one man show by John Waters about his films and career, his influences and, erm, hang ups.

    Waters fans should eat it up. Its nice to see his personality in front of the camera as he manages to be very funny at times.

    I adore John Waters for being himself. Here is 150% Waters. In other words, if you like the man, you will love hearing what he has to say for himself.
