A Short History Of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson »

This is a truly crazy movie directed by John Waters about a suburb of Baltimore that gets overrun by sex addicts. The zombie like sexual transformations are instigated by concussions which occur with ridiculous frequency throughout the film.

I like Waters' low budget aesthetic here (especially the textual subliminal messages) and the film is refreshingly dirty as it goes about namechecking every sexual act you can think of. It's also pretty stupid a lot of the time though.

Points off for giving too much screentime to Tracy Ullman and not enough to Selma Blair. The most memorable aspect of the movie is the usually petite, flat-chested Blair walking around with freakishly gigantic breasts as a character who 'dances' under the stage name "Ursula Udders".
