The shenanigans have been pared into 84 minutes of transgressive, potty-minded farce, that is often Waters at his most cheerful and most thematically focused.

If this movie does anything to rally crowds against cinema's mass distribution of mediocrity then it has served a noble purse.
75
The comedy is frantic and tasteless in the usual Waters mode, but it takes telling potshots at the Hollywood establishment, which isn't nearly so open about the tackiness of its products.
63
It's the cinematic equivalent of one of those prop guns where you pull the trigger and a little flag comes out of the barrel, waving gaily.
50
Not so much a movie as a self-contained world for like-minded people who wear their outsider status on their sleeves.

Weighed down by the presence of Griffith. She plays her satiric part without much gusto or conviction - as if she were afraid we might believe she really is Honey.

Appears to have been written and directed by a grade-school dropout snorting airplane glue.

Oh putain, elle est gratinée cette grosse connerie débilos de film de merde complètement con ! ça ne fait qu’une heure et demi mais impossible d’aller jusqu’au bout, y compris en avance rapide de temps en temps (ça n’avance pas assez vite et même comme ça, ça fatigue énormément). Mais à propos d’une vedette qui se fait enlever, on vous conseille et recommande ‘la Valse des Pantins’, pas cette lamentable comédie complètement, entièrement, intégralement nulle à chier ! Cette bande de charlots de kidnappeurs qui font n’importe quoi, Melanie (qu’on aime bien, certes) en roue libre, ce scénar de crevard de nanar boulotté par un ou des connards (sont-ils plusieurs à avoir commis un truc pareil ?!), rien ne va dans cette grosse daube ! allez hop, un coup de pied au cul, direction la poubelle, bordel de merde !!
