LOS ANGELES, CA (March 28, 2005) – The outrageous John Waters (Hairspray, Pink Flamingos) once again delivers a hilarious snapshot of suburban Baltimore and a cast of eccentric characters in A Dirty Shame, available on DVD from New Line Home Entertainment on June 14, 2005. Starring Tracey Ullman (TV’s The Tracey Ullman Show, TV’s Tracey Takes On…), Johnny Knoxville (Men In Black II, TV’s Jackass), Selma Blair (In Good Company, Legally Blonde) and recording star Chris Isaak (Showtime’s The Chris Isaak Show), A Dirty Shame embraces the over-the-top spirit of the John Waters classics and is available in both its theatrical, NC-17 version and an R-rated, “Neuter” version. With feature-length commentary from writer-director Waters and a hysterical featurette titled, “The Dirt on A Dirty Shame,” the DVD is priced at a $27.95 SRP.
SYNOPSIS
When an accidental concussion awakens the carnal urges of Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), the people of Pinewood become pitted against each other in an epic battle of decency (“Neuters”) versus depravity (“Sex Addicts”). With her talented go-go dancing daughter (Selma Blair) and devoted husband, Vaughn (Chris Isaak), by her side, along with tow-truck driver and sexual healer Ray-Ray Perkins (Johnny Knoxville) as her guide, Sylvia finds herself on the road to eternal sexual satisfaction. The Neuters never had a chance!
