This film has it all: great songs (about showering regularly), a message (keep clean, brush your teeth and more subtly, wipe your ass), a love triangle, a story of triumph over adversity (Homer conquers his ignorance and squalorwell, maybe just his squalor), square dancing, dopey gags, homoeroticismit's impossible to imagine that *Personal Hygiene* was not completely successful at getting our troops to feel great about staying clean. In fact, I got so excited that I stopped it in the middle of the first half and gargled with mouthwash. This is the sort of film you have to share with others…
