"It looks like John Waters has a new muse. In an interview with Pop Candy’s Whitney Matheson, the filmmaker discusses his upcoming Christmas movie Fruitcake––“imagine The Little Rascals if John Waters had directed it”––and has nothing but effusive praise for the film’s star, Johnny Knoxville: Yeah, I love Johnny. He really personifies every male character that’s a good guy that I could write that would live in Baltimore. I think Jackass is very much in the spirit of what my early films were. He’s an anarchist, and I’m always happy to hang around anarchists. He’s a cultural anarchist. Knoxville, of course, starred in Waters’ most recent feature, A Dirty Shame. And Waters has been vocal about his admiration of the prank punk turned actor before; he memorably stuck Jackass Number 2 in the (wait for it) number 2 slot of his Top Ten Films of 2006 list for Artforum, declaring it a triumph that Knoxville and his boys had the “number-one-grossing movie in America on its opening weekend—and ...

"If you are not a fan of John Waters movies, do NOT watch this movie. You have to be a true fan of his works to really get and appreciate this raunchy humor. I know that somethings were REALLY over the top and had a lot of adolescent jokes and giggles. Tracy Ullman's performance is as always hilarious and I think Selma Blair shows a lot of her comedic side. Of course Johnny Knoxville is his same old jack-ass sexual deviant self, but all in all it had some fun, dirty humor that really says DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY, JUST HAVE FUN. So every time I see a "holier-than-thou" person talking about how wrong sex is or sex education or the EVILS of adultery...I just know in a few months they will be on the news - caught at a sex party with animals or something like that...
