  Funny in some bits but went on a bit too long and lost the plot
  
  I didn't think it was gross really, or that shocking- maybe because I was expecting something hideous.

  Yuck but you gotta kind of watch it!
  
  Not the best film ever and tries too hard to shock. Thought about switching off several times but something kept me watching!

  From Anarchy to Adolescence
  
  At the beginning, A Dirty Shame, takes on and crashes through the values of middle-America in an original and comedic manner. I laughed at the way in which ... read more »

  I love a bit of filth
  
  I do love a bit of filth, black comedy, blurring the boundries of comedy and feeling uncomfortable. But this was too much for me.

  Hugely disappointing
  
  I used to like John Waters and think that he was intelligently subversive, creative and witty. Hairspray, Cry Baby, they made me laugh, made me think and showed... read more »

  Dirty Shame
  
  Hilarious, stupid, gleeful and manic . Tracy Ullman shows what a fantastic physical comedian she is in this - we loved it !

  Avoid @ ALL costs! The script is dreadful, the characters are laughable, the CGI is budget and the concept is just plain foolishness. This film must have been ... read more »

  Very silly, but good fun with a couple of G&Ts on a night in.
  
  Not much else to say really. It's not vintage old Waters, it's not as 'sophisticated' as some of the 80s/90s stuff. Just silly and good fun.

  Real disappointment
  
  This is a shame on every level.
  
  I am a John Waters fan but he doesn't always hit the mark. Serial Mom, Pink Flamingos and Cry-Baby are great, ... read more »

  This movie stunk
  
  I only give it one star because there is not choosing no stars, or negative stars, or why bother making this stinker at all?

  Utter Nonsense
  
  This film sets a new bench mark for 'crapness'. The occasional funny one liner but apart from that, very poor.

  total trash
  
  this has got to be one of the worst films ever made but you end up watching it to the bitter end just to see how bad it can get.
