I have always loved movies that everybody else seems to not like. I really enjoyed "Mommie Dearest", and felt for Christina's character throughout the film. In fact, Diana Scarwid was really convincing her scenes.
BUT there was one line that had me nearly chocking with laughter.
"CHRISTINA.. BRING ME THE AXE!!!! -

It's of the "it's so bad it's good" breed of film. It's camp, which is why the critics, Dunaway and Christina had problems with it.
But it's entertaining, and everybody remembers all the line 20 years after watching it just once.

I love this film - I think in hindsight, she did an absolutely brilliant, brilliant job. She deserved an Oscar for that performance, but it wasn't going to happen due to the fact that they were effectively skewering a film legend.

The problem was it didn't try to show why Joan was this way to Christina. The movie made very little narrative sense, like the scene where Christina is sent to a convent. Next scene she checks out. So what happened in there? At least the book explained her depression and all that.
