 | I liked this movie not so much because it was a masterpiece, but more because it was a brave piece of filmmaking that decided to break the rules completely. I'm tired of movies that claim to break the rules and then give you all these cutesy things that really are designed to appeal to a wide audience. The fact that Stephen Dorf appeared in this film has also raised my respect for him as an actor. He's been on the fast track to big budget movies, so doing this film for him is almost the same as doing a broadway show - it does nothing to advance his career and really exposes his strengths and weaknesses. Overall, this film once again made me thank the lord that John Waters exists, we need more directors like him. |

| This movie was a suprising dissapointment after watching it. I barely cracked a smile through most of it. (Notice its not in his recent "john waters collection". Reasoning is because it stinks! His films are slipping with each one coming out. Pecker was awful too, a dirty shame was ok. Check out his earlier movies for some real trashy fun but if you must with this one please rent it first! |

| Stephen rocks in this movie and that's good to see compared to his latest unsuccessful releases. He's demented and devilishly sexy just the way he needs to be. His portrayal of Cecil will not only have you laughing your head off but you'll find yourself impatient to see what happens next. He leaves the entire cast in the dust except for Alicia Witt who put in an equally interesting and terrific performance as Cecil's pornstar girlfriend Cherish. Stephen brings charm to this role and it will remind his true fans of his role as Deacon Frost in terms of sexuality and creativity. Stephen is a gifted actor and though Cecil B. Demented isn't the best movie at times, it's Cecil himself that carries it along. Definitely the best John Waters flick too and I definitely think Stephen and John should reunite in the future. Suffer for Celluloid! |

| This film is not so bad that it's funny. This is so bad that it's terrible. Aimed at 14-year old males, hung up on masturbation, in love with four letter words, and needing a lot of action every three minutes, the movie fails to be entertaining, enlightening, or even credible. It's soft porn for the masses. It's a clinic on bad acting and witless direction.
I watched this miserable flick on the Independent Film Channel the other evening, again marveling at the lack of quality programming those people come up with. If this is what film has come to in our time, we are sinking faster than anyone imagines. |
