Okay so these 5 kids go to a carnival or circus or something like that.  One kid is paraplegic (guy), another is a total dick (guy), one is shallow (chick), and another think's she's too fat (chick).  The last guy has with no written personality flaws whatsoever (I wonder who the protagonist is  :lookingup:).  Anyway they have their fortune told and the lady gives them all some cryptic, "you will get this" sort of thing, but doesn't get to the main character.  Then they go to a freak show and the paraplegic is all "it's only special effects, HOLY SH!T how'd they do that!"  Yeah there are some messed up freaks, I remember a girl who sat in her own digestive juice, another girl who took her skin off, some sort of bug guy, and a midgit.  So the kids go through and throughout the rest of the movie the midgit is making them part of the attraction.  The not-fat-thinks-she's-fat girl is turned skinny, but with no face, the shallow girl is turned REALLY tiny.  The dick becomes a canary-boy.  And the paraplegic gets to walk again as a half wolf thing half person, but he's cool with it.  The protagonist is left all by himself in the desert the end.

I saw this movie a while ago on late night t.v. and I think it's called Sideshow, but I'm not 100% sure on it.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?

AHHH! I know i've seen this; it's mid- to late eighties if i'm thinking right. I hope someone knows, because i'd really like to see it again.

I checked it out on IMDb, it is sideshow, but it was made in 2000, however it kinda looks mid to late 80's.
