Synopsis
Iconoclastic satirist
John Waters
bites the hand that (periodically) feeds him in this humorous look at the underside of the film industry. Self-styled guerrilla filmmaker Cecil (
Stephen Dorff
) leads a Baltimore movie-making collective/street gang called the Sprocket Holes, which includes Cecil's girlfriend and frequent leading lady, a low-rent porn actress named Cherish Oh Lordy (
Alicia Witt
). Desperate for attention, they kidnap famous Hollywood actress Honey Whitlock (
Melanie Griffith
) during a Baltimore publicity stop and force her at gunpoint to star in their latest production,
Raving Beauty
. Before long, Honey comes down with a severe case of Stockholm syndrome and joins the Sprocket Holes in their bid to destroy the mainstream film industry. Waters regulars
Ricki Lake
, Patty Hearst, and
Mink Stole
highlight the supporting cast, and techno star Moby contributes to the soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
