Rating: Summary: A MUST FOR ALL DRAG QUEENS! Review: Yes, the writing wasn't the best. Yes, the three queens in the movie were straight. HOWEVER, this movie is a must for any drag queen. I can barely get through the movie without wanting to be Brigett. This is a must own for us all!Donny/Brigett
Rating: Summary: Not your typical movie!! Review: So here we have the trio - Swayze leading the bunch - as transvestites, along with Wesley and John. I never would have figured these actors for something like this, but I suppose actors have to take chances in the roles they play. This is sort of a "message" movie, though, as it implies that these three individuals have been discriminated against and persecuted because of their lifestyles, and maybe they have. At least the movie indicates they have. But they find a local town and find some refuge there, and by the end of the film, most of the town has come down on their side of things, and Swayze and company become the heroes. Not a typical movie for these actors, but then again, this is not your typical movie.
Rating: Summary: Robyn, from TN , I have lived out this movie,And I loved it! Review: I can only say 3 words about this movie(WE LOVED IT). My straight friends and I watch this movie at least once a week, this movie has Open the eyes to my friends about my lifestyle and the way I live everyday life, Because I live my life has a transsexaul and I live in a small Town where some people don't care for that way of life . I moved away and came back to a new place Because, I was determain to stay here, open my own business and live my life has a pre-op, Thanks to this movie I have done just that and I have the respect of the community. So, instead of going to the local post office, or the court house and hearing childess giggles, I hear Good-Day, Miss Robyn How are you? It maybe because the town has grown-up But, I like to think it,s Because I saw Too Wong Foo, and as they did in the movie I took my place, stood my ground, and never let no one run my life except for myself and the sprit of the wong foo! I now have the most profitable business in town, So, I do belive EVERYONE should not only watch this movie, But, buy it ! Oh, how it does lift the sprits! Julie Newmar made the way for women like us! I am very greatful. forever, Robyn from Lafayette.
Rating: Summary: Fun and refreshingly honest Review: Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes as drag queen beauties makes this movie work and contrary what all the mainstream nay sayer critics say this movie works. And it is a great ice breaker movie when it comes to a touchy topic in a sadly homophobic culture. I also recommend The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The movie also shows that there is a big area of the United States between NYC and LA and the surprises that await the unsuspecting visitor to middle America. And the innocent citizens of the small town where the three drag queens get stranded for a few days were so well written as characters because they are allowed their innocence without being depicted as mean or what I call the all to well known homophobic types. In fact in many ways they are what I think most people are. Live and let live and life is a journey with wonders and lessons to be learned.
Rating: Summary: Wonders in Drag Review: This is one of the best drag/cult movies ever made, it ranks up there right next to "Queen of the Dessert"!!...my VHS copy is on its last legs and I need to get a new one!!
Rating: Summary: John Leguizamo was so good, I thought he was Rosie Perez! Review: Fun, harmless entertaining. Nothing to get excited about, but it is amusing thanks to it's strange casting choices. Any movie with Stockard Channing has to have some merit! Swayze and Snipes are fun and Rosie Perez (oops!) is hysterical. Leguizamo deserves a lot more recognition for his body of work.
Rating: Summary: One of my personal favorites Review: The first time I saw this movie I was disappointed and found it impossible to accept the plot or the idea that these men could pass anywhere at any time. Then, my spouse described it to me as a fairy tale (excuse the pun). I saw it again with that reference point and suddenly this movie that I did not particularly like turned into one of my all-time favorites. Suspend reality and enjoy this movie. It really is wonderful! (Where's the DVD version?!)
Rating: Summary: fun Review: i love john leguizamos acting. hes always funny. i like the idea of drag queens. this is easilly compared to another movie with guys dressing up as girls sorority boys. its the funniest movie ever.
Rating: Summary: Campy fun, but not for the homophobic Review: I went with my husband and a friend. The friend walked out in the opening sequence. He was really freaked out by Patrick and Wesley changing from men to women. Me, I loved it. I don't give 5 stars at all and rarely 4's, so this is high praise from me (I'm a hard grader). Because you don't see John go through the tranformation, its really hard to remember he is a man unless you've seen him in other roles. Wesley is very silly and very camp. Patrick is too darn beautiful and stately. Very scary. As others have said, forget the plot and enjoy the fun.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I have to say that Snipes, Swayze and Leguizamo looked pretty darn good in drag. The incident with Sherrif Dullard - oops! - Dollard was hilarious, especially that little Cinderella bit with the shoe. I think this was the best I've seen Stockard Channing do. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys comedies about road trips, friendship, and what friends can and will do for each other.
