Spend Thanksgiving Eve with Divine and her nuclear family in John Waters’ camptacular Suburban cult comedy classic – presented in Odorama so you can smell your way through the film! Our beloved Divine stars as Francine Fishpaw, a troubled housewife trapped in suburban Baltimore. Her household is a disaster — her husband is the philandering proprietor of a sleazy movie theater, her daughter performs lewd dances in her high school cafeteria for money, her son is a predatory foot fetishist, and the family pet is suicidal. After she hits alcoholic rock bottom, along comes Todd Tomorrow (Tab Hunter), a dreamboat who runs an art-house drive-in theater. But is he really as angelic as he seems? Inspired by soap operas and weepy 1950s melodramas, John Waters combines the conventions of that genre (soft lighting, teary organ music) with William Castle-like gimmickry for what was, upon its release, his most polished, biggest budgeted film.
