Director John Waters is known for his risqué movies on the topic of sex, and this one definitely rises to a raunchy level. Sylvia (Tracy Ullman) is married to a frustrated husband who masturbates in his bathroom because her interest in having sex with him is infrequent and uninspired. Eventually, when formerly frigid Sylvia has an orgasm, the look on her face is more she might have after she is no longer constipated rather than a look of joy.

Their daughter Caprice (Selma Blair) is a former entertainer who has been found to have "criminally enlarged" breasts. Her hooters could be divided up and spread across a dozen waitresses at the famous chicken wing restaurant chain, they are so large. Banished from further performances in nightclubs, she is locked in her room because she is so oversexed.

Ray Ray (Johnny Knoxville) recruits Sylvia as his 12^th sex disciple when she suffers a head injury during an accident. This methodology transforms the person into a sex addict. Much of the sacrilegious tone of the film begins here, and continues with observations such as using the word "retrosextion" in lieu of resurrection. One of the biggest laugh out loud moments in the film occurs at a retirement home dance party, where the now hot, "I can’t get enough," Sylvia demonstrates her gentlemen’s club star quality by picking up a water bottle with something other than her hands or mouth…use your imagination!

Although the NC-17 rating comes from some language and the overall tone of the film, there are minimal on screen sex acts, other than oral sex, that you are asked to imagine. The only nude scene is a naked couple at their front door, which shows frontal nudity. The sex is much along the lines of "make love not war" with its political message. The climax of the film (pun intended) is how the world changes when a new way of making love is discovered with a position you’ve not seen before.

Buried beneath the undulating bodies, the underlying message of the film deals with tolerance and diversity. No doubt, Alan Keyes (US Senate Candidate (R) for Illinois) would consider this film to be full of sadistic, hedonist family values. People who don’t see amending the constitution to prevent same sex marriages as a top 5 priority for the US government may appreciate the satire.

A group called the Neuters holds an emergency decency rally to ensure that proper family values are adhered to. The opposing school of thought is that sex that is safe and consensual, and does no harm to others is just fine. We think there is something to the notion that not only your way or our way is the only way. Live and let live.
