Para Wong Foo, Obrigada por Tudo! Julie Newmar

Every one should watch this. Absolutely amazing movie. Patrick Swayze is so beautiful. Some of the best and most quotable lines! WILDLY underrated and not talked about enough. Love love love.

"I don't think of you as a man. And I don't think of you as a woman. I think of you as an angel."

Sincerily I think this is one of the best "drag queen movie" they have ever made! Yes, I admit it could be considered VERY VERY similar to the most famous Australian movie "Priscilla The Queen of the desert" but it surely cut a good figure!!! Never boring, it also includes some nice cameos played by famous persons, such as Robin Williams, Naomi Campbell and July Newmar herself. It's nice, wit, joyful and very well played, above all by the 3 main actors, men you would never imagine as transvestites,thanking also to their bodies, usually, so much masculine!!! They accepted a challenge and, in my opinion, they won!! WELL DONE BOYS!!!

From its original conception, this film must have started as a riot. The premise of having three macho actors take on the roles of drag queens to put together a very funny and insightful comedy of the sexes must have appeared as an impossible task. In the end, the film works because of its tight screenplay and its well defined characters. Swayze, Leguizamo, and Snipes hold nothing back, making each character real and multi dimensional. There are elements of farce, hilarity, outrageousness, and some very daring moves from its three leads. With the help of a strong supporting cast that includes Stockard Channing, as a battered woman, the film moves along quite nicely.

It's a fantasy with a firm hold in reality. The leads portray three human beings that must confront what society deals them, and in the film, they manage to make some of their dreams come true. Unlike other movies dealing with special types of love, such as "Beautiful Thing" and "Big Eden" where the ending perfectly matches the rest of the fantasy, this one faces reality and offers an interesting type of compromise. It's bittersweet, expertly interweaving both the possible and impossible.

Leguizamo shines as the very caliente latina persona who lives dangerously and tries to fit in, in her own special way. Swayze is the classy one, who is not allowed to forget her true nature. Wesley Snipes' role borders on caricature, but he keeps it from crossing the line between farcical and ridiculous. They all do very good work with this very risqué and difficult material. It works out.

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.

'To Wong Foo' offers you the chance to see Swayze, Snipes, and Leguizamo like you've never seen them before - especially macho Snipes! And dare I say, they look gorgeous!!

'To Wong Foo' is a flamboyant, outrageous and somewhat daring comedy drama with fantastic performances by the lead actors. The film features stunning costumes and make-up. We follow the adventures of three drag queens on a road trip to Los Angeles. Choosing style over substance soon proves to be a big mistake for our three heroes (or should I say heroins). When they find themselves stranded in a conservative small town called Snydersville, they decide to make the most of a dire situation - and never anticipated changing the lives of everyone around them in the process.

'To Wong Foo' is predominantly a comedy, but delivers some fine dramatic moments as well. This is a wonderful, uplifting comedy drama with a positive message. I enjoyed the musical elements thrown in the mix, and good dialogue, as well. I love this film!
