But it's now up to Henrietta to keep the family together, something she's not totally up to, navigating the lives of her, dad Mickey, brother Kevin (Justin Conway) and new addition Debbie the Retard (Margo Jepson) - left behind by Sailor Jerry - through a world of hippies, outcasts, sleazebags and the like, including their sleazy uncle Albert (Steve Jones), director Ricky Valentine (Christopher Paul Cardoza), who wants to trick the whole family into doing porn, and the a little too sex-hungry Roxanne (Ida Benstuft). Eventually, Henrietta seeks advice from a psychiatrist (Michael Nieto), but that only lands her in his bed and ultimately pregnant ... <p> <p>Now there's one thing that <b>Henrietta and her Dismal Display of Affection</b> is not, and that's subtle - and that's totally intentional, too, the film was always supposed to be loud, also mirrored in its garish colour scale, its deliberate use of gore and ill-fitting wigs, its script that seems to navigate from one kick into the balls to the next without paying much mind to narrative structur, and its rather over-the-top acting ... and the outcome is pretty hysterical, something that most closely resembles a soap opera from hell, going through the motions of the genre but with the gloves firmly off and the tongue always in cheek. Ultimately, it's probably not a film for everyone's taste, but something with a definite party movie feeling to it, and should your sense of humour be on the slightly crude side, chances are you'll love this one. </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2020"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
