Summary: Wonderful film!
Review: Some reviewers forgot their sense of humor at the door.This film is hilarious! If we can't laugh at ourselves, with all our flaws and foibles, we are lost. This movie makes no pretense toward real life, never pretends to. Yes, its full of stereotypes, terribly un-pc, and down right mean. But its also laugh-out-loud funny. Its a MOVIE, for crying out loud!

Summary: Unexpected Laugh Riot
Review: Sometimes, buying or renting an independent film can be a little risky, so I did not expect much from a low-budget movie starring three drag queens. While the popcorn popped, I started to realize that this movie was going to be one to remember. The interactive menus are introduced with humorous dialogue between four of the stars and there are hidden comedy snippets that can be found (on three menus) with a few creative arrow key combinations. The movie's plot is not entirely believable, but the drag queens deliver some punchlines with both comedic effervescence and excellent timing that, well, only drag queens can. I am still not a drag fan, but after watching this movie several times (with comentary and subtitles on for variety), I can say that this movie is definitely one for most video/DVD collections. Go buy it now.

Summary: delightfully irreverant
Review: Sure it was quirky and campy... and even more rude than SOUTH PARK... but it had heart. I've seen Jack Plotnick in small character roles for many years, so it was really nice to see him in a leading role. Clinton Leupp (who pretty much stole the show in that bathroom scene from the movie TRICK) also shines brightly in this movie! He's beautiful as a woman and in addition to being hilarious, he knows how to tug at the heartstrings. Jeffery Roberson was like the cherry on top of the sundae! Even for being so physically large, he has a vulnerable quality that works so well for his character. I highly recommend this movie for fans of this genre. Watch it with a group of friends and a bottle of wine (or a can of Cheez-Whiz)!

Summary: From the girls
Review: The big reason why I rented "Girls Will Be Girls" from my local video store was the fact that Jack Plotnick appears in this film. I've secretly followed his career, ever since seeing him on Ellen to his brief but memorable performance in "Gods and Monsters". Drag shows just haven't been my cup of tea. So, this review is solely based on your level of interest in that art form. "Girls Will Be Girls" is the story of three actresses, each played by men, who aspire, have aspired, or have expired in Hollywood. The entertainment from the movie comes not from the plot, however, but from the bitchy interchanges in between the queens as they fight and argue their way through the movie. The actors playing the queens do an excellent job with the parts they have. Especially the aformentioned Plotnick, as an aging drag queen who is literally falling apart. And it's nice to see Miss Coco in another film (from her cameo in Trick), she plays her dramatic role with the right amount of pathos and camp (if that's possible). So, this movie either could be horribly offensive and rotten, or, a funny adventure, depending on your opinion. Either you'll like it or won't...

Summary: These Girls Rock!
Review: The mean one-liners and the quality of the ensemble cast already have the ingredients of a cult classic, but the over-the-top visual gags and the bizarre final 20 minutes serve it up as a total original. Jack Plotnick as Evie, Clinton Leupp as Coco, and Jeffrey Roberson as Varla trade on their larger-than-life drag personas to paint a picture of an unhappy (but colorful!) home, sort of a gender-bent "Three's Company" with a badly coiffed Grinch instead of Jack Tripper at its center. Ron Mathews does a great job as the loving son of Evie who gives Varla every little bit he can (and who is really easy on the eyes--what a knockout!). I saw this movie when it first premiered in Seattle, with Jack Plotnick introducing it, and I laughed until I cried. I was surprised it didn't get a longer run in theaters. I preordered the DVD as soon as it was available. The DVD has funny snippets of dialog among the main characters as you choose from all the menus, and there is a small featurette on how "guys will be girls" through the magic of makeup. Richard Day keeps things moving apace with the writing and direction, and the set design alone (which I understand was mainly shot in Day's own home) is worth pressing the Pause button in several places. From the high-kicking theme song and opening montage through its final scenes, this movie takes you on a bizarre, tasteless, and yet in some ways heartfelt ride. And oh yes, Evie's accidental nudity still cracks me up every time I watch it--I don't care that it's train-wreck terrible, I laugh! This is my new favorite party movie, surpassing "Hedwig" and "Showgirls," which is saying something in my home.

Summary: Girls will Be Girls - Always and Forever!!!!
Review: The story is about a young starlet who moves to LA and ends up rooming with a washed up alcoholic has been diva who may or may not have somehow driven her mother to suicide almost 25 years ago! Throw in another roommate who is single and barren, and searching for a doctor who performed a ... procedure on her. Oh yeah! And all female parts are played by men in drag! I was shocked I loved the hell out of this movie considering it was made in someone's house and starred 3 drag queens. I am not a huge fan of the female illusionist, but here it worked to broaden out the already broad comedy! Seriously picture a real woman after being asked if she's ever had an abortion saying "Honey! I've had more kids ripped out of me than a burning ORPHANAGE!" No, only a man in a frock could deliver that and make you giggle. And giggle and laugh is exactly what I did in this whole film! It's a hoot! If you like your comedy broad and crass this is your movie! And the special features are not too bad either! You get animated menus with the cast, deleted scenes, a trailer, and a pretty entertaining commentary from the director and cast. IT'S A SPECIMERCIAL! IT'S HUGE!

Summary: An original and campy comedy, hilarious throughout!
Review: This is an off-the-wall comedy about three Hollywood actresses, (all played by drag queens). A very original premise and very very funny! There are some great quotable lines. Whatever your opinion of men in drag, watch this movie in the spirit in which it is intended, a twisted farce and a lot of fun. Good production values belie its low budget. It shows what can be done with limited resources and a lot of creativity. This is one not to miss!

Summary: FUNNY!
Review: This movie is hilarious. It has a very campy sense of humor and it has some great one-liners. Astrophisasist! This is the kind of movie that you have to show to all your friends on a movie night while having cocktails. Check out the audio commentary too. It's just as funny. :)
