- Synopsis:
With a hilarious swipe at the underside of the film industry, Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff and Alicia Witt star in John Water's madcap comedy Cecil B Demented - an insane tale of a young lunatic filmmaker (Dorff) and his gang of film fanatics, the "Sprocket Holes". The Sprocket's goal is to kidnap A-list Hollywood movie goddess Honey Whitlock (Griffith) and force her to perform in their own underground movie. Every inch a star, Honey's career is at its peak, but her personal life is in disarray. Forty years old and divorced, she is still beautiful, rich and talented, and is on every producer's short list despite her reputation as a diva. Agreeing to appear at her latest film's international premiere in Baltimore, she has no idea she is about to meet the most demanding director of her career. - Actors:

Settling scores with Hollywood! - Cecil B. Demented review by TE
"Demented" is right! A typical knockabout satire from John Waters.
There are some good blows struck against the Hollywood film system, and several moments of hilarious sexual provocation.
However, it is mainly a slapstick romp spiced up with the chance to spot some cameos by stars of the future.
