A Dirty Shame

2004 · 89 min

A gleefully filthy, absurd romp that feels like a naughty cartoon for grown-ups, packed with outrageous gags and zero shame.

Tagline
Threatening the very limits of common decency.
Overview
Sylvia Stickles runs a convenience store with her husband and mother-in-law. One day, Sylvia is hit on the head and transforms from an uptight prude to a sex-crazed lunatic. As she goes on a rampage through town, Sylvia attracts the attention of Ray Ray, a sexual healer and tow truck driver in search of the world's greatest orgasm. Their sexual revolution, however, causes a class war in their tiny Baltimore community.
