Ainda Te Pego

Feeling nostalgic for an over the top 90s trailer trash romcom? You can do better, but why not dumpster dive! Plus, the soundtrack is actually pretty killer.

Including two of my all-time favorite movie lines: 1) Diane Ladd: "I think I need me a coffee enema." 2) Lazlo: "Put your lips over your teeth and breathe through your nose."

The director allegedly vowed to make the sleaziest movie he could as a condemnation of Hollywood. He succeeded admirably, but it feels more like homage to me.

Dialogue example: "I guess killing your sister, burying your dog, and losing your virginity all in one day is a lot for a girl."

I am not from the it's-so-bad-it's-good school of movie watching. "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" or even "Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill" (which, by the way, is saluted in this film), has always been just too stoner-stupid for my taste. However, if you create off this concept, well. . .

This film is shot in the colors of sleaze--from Sabra's day-glow spandex to the hues of the trailer court. Everything is there to enhance the camp. This is side-spliting sleaze all the way. I mean, how about the scene where he takes Danni out to dinner with handcuffs on? Or, Sabra's come-on line, "down deep I'm a sensitive and vulnerable girl. Don't let my vibrators and dildos fool you."

Symbolism? How 'bout the Barbie dolls?

Inference with Import? How 'bout the scene where pink-spandexed Sabra walks Gus down the SPCA promenade of death? That'll make you give up topless bars and stroke mags, man.

Hidden treat? Buy the soundtrack. It'll fit nicely next to "Copulatin' Blues"

Weak link? Timmy Leary. The only acting he does effectively is playing dead.

Some of the most unusual dialog I've ever heard!! And delivered perfectly by all concerned! This film was grand, campy fun. Definitely unique!!

Just when you think you know exactly where the film is headed, it suddenly takes an oblique turn, with hilarious results.

Another member used the phrase: "Side-Splitting Sleaze..." I consider that comment accurate and a compliment to the movie. I totally agree!

The subject matter is adult and the language is often profane. These characters are... um, interesting people, who say and do what they want, when they want. So this film isn't for everyone... But, if you like strangeness and enjoy laughing, this is a great movie for you.

Adrienne Shelly is a goddess! I rent this movie from time to time just to watch her scenes. Ever since "Trust" I've been in love and lust with her. This is a whacky story of life at a Southern California trailer park. It hasn't got much of a plot, it's just an excuse to have a lot of funny scenes and situations go down on screen. Some of the jokes fall flat but for the most part it's lighthearted fun with an R rated twist. I like the casting of Andrea Naschak as the nympho sister.
