SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Bluegrass Absolutely the grossest movie I've ever seen all done without gore which I have to give John Waters some credit for. It has been a long time since I saw this movie but some scenes will probably be with me for life. My first sense that this might not be the movie for me is when I noticed I was the only female in the theater. I had to bail about 20 minutes from the end. My ex-husband watched the rest without me. Anyway not recommended for women or most men. It might be of use for preventing pregnancy with teen girls.

Massimiliano Misturelli I'm asking myself why I'm writing a review about this masterpiece of all times. What else can be said about Female trouble? I pride myself on being a Dreamland hard core fan, but I feel dull right now because I cannot express in the right way what I think and feel about this movie. Let's say it was a revelation to me, something that can never wear out. I watched this movie many, many many times and it's always like I'm watching it for the first time. Shall I say it's funny, hilarious, meaningful, what else? It's all that and much more. It's more than a movie, a way of life, something that can change your life for ever. If you are feeling depressed watch it and your life will get a new focus. To cut short on a long story, this picture has became a part of my life, something that it's not likely to happen all the time.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I watched the 97 minute version. This and Pink Flamingos was lent to me by a friend of mine, and they are my first and only exposure to Waters, other than his guest appearance in an episode of The Simpsons and his role in Seed of Chucky. Well, I'm not a fan. I would have to say that this is the better of the two. Instead of being one long excuse to shock and put the nastiest things they could think of onto the screen(this may have the same amount, but in a much lesser range), this has genuine plot and even sort of a point... crime as beauty(seemingly related to Charles Manson and his "family"), and the pursuit of the latter. Well, yeah, it's *strange*... remember who we're dealing with. The substance does help this considerably(a little absurd stuff is better than absolutely nothing). There are a couple of funny lines(such as the one in my summary), if on the whole, I didn't find this humorous(the "don't want eggs" bit was amusing), only offensive. Not a lot of it is in the language, it's largely visual and in the occurrences. Divine is yet again wearing excessive make-up, and again there are characters with odd names wearing weird clothes and hair being obnoxious and not necessarily credible. While the dialog is not as repetitive, and doesn't feel as improvised and "ok, guys, we only have time for one take so keep going if you flub a line" as in the earlier movie, it's not impressive. Performances are decent, same for the FX. This has a little good music. The technical aspects remain underwhelming. There is a moderate measure of sex and full frontal nudity of both genders in this. I recommend this to those who enjoy John's work, or find what I describe here to be appealing. 6/10

PsychlOps FEMALE TROUBLE- It's astonishing how such an underground film can achieve, somehow, a level of entertainment that is very memorable. It's funny as hell, dirty as anything I've seen, and it makes you wonder what other gold you've missed from that time period.Female Trouble works on many levels. A reason, I think, I and many many others adore this little film is because we can relate to it. It's definitely, to me, considered a masterpiece. It is a metaphor for the bad places we can go in life and the consequences of our stupid actions.Anyway, Waters brings a great sense of morality to his film. When you watch this movie, you feel as if you can't believe you're watching such filth, but you also say to yourself, "I'm actually enjoying this...a lot!" It is divine trash indeed. And speaking of Divine, he MAKES this film. Divine is soooo hilarious that it's really indescribable. All the acting is good and refreshing, too.This was the first Waters movie I saw and it sucked me in to see his other cinematography and watch it. Female Trouble remains my absolute favorite and will probably remain that way (I still need to see some of his even earlier films). This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for great laughs and a great time.9/10
