My Review-

I actually thought this movie was going to be completely different from what it was and I was so wrong. This movie was actually really funny especially from Guy Pearce and Thomas Stamp,and these three really awesome actors playing Drag Queens is one of the funniest things I have seen from them and even though they played completely different characters still afraid of Stamp and Weaving; since they are both iconic actors not being Zod and Agent Smith and they both did this movie really well. This movie being from 1994 seemed ahead of its time or maybe this was going on back then as well, since I was really little when this movie came out I would have not been able to understand what it was about back then as I do now. Since they were Drag Queens they had to deal with the occasional people that gave them shit for it but never took it the wrong way and just moved on. Some of my favorite parts of the movie were when they would break out into song while dancing out of nowhere. This movie was never really boring or drawn out in long scenes, there were just some things here and there I thought could have been a little better; such as Weaving's character actually dealing with the fact that he had a son, since it was told really briefly in a flash back. Other than that this was a really enjoyable movie with three really good actors in Drag what more could you ask for in this type of movie and meeting people who would help or join them along the way. IF you want to see some actors who usually do drama's and want to see them in a comedy than watch this movie, or if you are looking for a funny movie to watch pick this movie up, its a good watch.
