Summary: Best Rock Musical EVER!!!
Review: I cannot say enough about this movie/play. I have seen the play 3 times and own the DVD and VHS. I listen to the CD all day everyday at work. The music cannot be better...so moving. While the film/play is a mix of dark comedy, hilarious scenes and what some people might find downright outrageous, I am more inclined to call this a kind of Greek Tragedy, Hedwig being the protagonist...her fatal flaw (a botched sex change among other things) is both her downfall (miserable life) and her triumph. I won;t say more. Excelt, do yourself a huge favor ans see both the film and the play.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent soundtrack!
Review: From the very start with "Tear Me Down," Hedwig gets off to a rocking start. This is a movie I'd heard lots about, but wasn't sure I'd be into or not. I love glam rock, but have never cared at all for Rocky Horror.

I found myself enjoying the movie from the outset and loving it more and more as I watched. Hedwig's story is interesting, has humor and the songs really stand out. Best of all on the DVD is the feature that lets you jump to each individual song in the movie. I rented this first since I wasn't sure I'd love it, but quickly went and bought it after watching it once. This is one I'll be watching many times.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hedwig Rocks!!!!!!!
Review: Utter genius!
This film ROCKS!
Great music, and camp/punk/rock at its best.
This is the reason the Musical genre was created!

If you have the soundtrack to this film, and want more of the same, check out the Scissor Sisters album.

GREAT dvd extras!!! 5 stars for them too!

Summary: One of my all-time favorites!
Review: 'Hedwig' is a wonderfully seductive, twisted, and engaging musical in the true cult spirit of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Those who do not like it, are the ones that aren't sophisticated enough to understand it. The characters and humor are very subtle. Much of the story is told in retrospect, to the tune of a wildly energetic, yet thoroughly thoughtful, soundtrack of original glam rock songs. But what impressed me more than the story, the humor, and the music...was the incredible thought-provoking dialogue. Though I recommend this movie very highly, I would suggest renting it before you buy it...just to make sure you like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At first I didn't like it
Review: It defintely is a un-nerving subject for most, but I grew to adore John Cameron Mitchell's piece of artwork. Humorous, Tragic, and Worth the money. A++++

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a truly original masterpiece
Review: With a soundtrack to match, this film has touched my heart to the core. Not just another cut-and-paste medly of the old familiar George Clooney and J.Lo romantic comedy antics, this film takes cinema to a new level. What happens when a person is physically incapable of experiencing love? After a botched sex-change operation, Hedwig is an example of strength and and beauty. This song is an anthem for anyone and everyone who has ever wanted anything more than the average middle-American white lifestyle. Simply beautiful. Simply breath-taking.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best.......Movie........Ever !
Review: I remember when this movie was released in theaters back in 2001. It interested me even back then, but I was unable to go see it. Over the years I'd heard nothing but good things about it from friends and people on the internet, so one day I decided to check it out myself. I was blown away. This is now my all-time favorite movie. Words cannot express how great I think this movie is. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch this fabulous movie. You'll laugh, you'll cry (a lot), and maybe....just maybe, you'll learn a little about yourself and your fellow man.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Unexpected Joy
Review: Wow, what a great and unique find! If you enjoy off-beat, wacky movies with a scathingly hillarious sense of humor, and [mostly] excellent original music, get this DVD. Camp to the max! One of very few movies that I have enjoyed watching several times. Some of those tunes are hard to forget. Oh yeah, you need an open mind to enjoy...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Rocky Horror on crack
Review: I had my apprehentions before watching this movie.. and they were all validated.. I've got to give this movie points for creativity, but thats about it. The storyline about a sex-change gone wrong was just weird, and when you add the blonde wigs, and the fact that you don't know if the characters are men or women... well, you're in for one hell of a ride. I do have to admit that the songs were catchy, though. My advice is to see this after you've smoked yourself retarded so you don't lose IQ points.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I have never wanted to beat a director and writer this much!
Review: This is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen. Aside from lacking completely in worthwhile dialogue and storyline, this movie is blunt and disturbing for the sheer sake of it! I don't understand why this movie ever go past step pre-production. Unless you feel the need to be horribly repulsed and to enjoy pissing away your money, do not even consider this horrible excuse for a movie!
