Sylvia Stickles runs a convenience store with her husband and mother-in-law. One day, Sylvia is hit on the head and transforms from an uptight prude to a sex-crazed lunatic. As she goes on a rampage through town, Sylvia attracts the attention of Ray Ray, a sexual healer and tow truck driver in search of the world's greatest orgasm. Their sexual revolution, however, causes a class war in their tiny Baltimore community.

User Reviews

This movie is a dirty shame because it had all the potential to be great but came together very underwhelming.

John Waters is weird as hell and shows that age hasn't changed that a bit. What a ride this was.

Waters is still great at creating a campy, fun story, but a lot of this is over the top in a bad way where the story becomes meaningless

The movie didn’t age well, but a friend of mine is in it so I watch it every so often.

With it being a John Waters flick, was expecting a bit more naughtiness, but nah, a bit tired in most places like a mangy cathouse really!

Fairly underwhelming for a John Waters film but some funny moments

Michael Margetis

Doesn’t live up to its dirty potential.

This wasn’t even that good for a John Waters film

I remember this was thought provocative in the US but in Europe we just smiled vaguely at its silliness.

Everyone involved in this abomination should be executed.
