Extravagances

The main reason I liked this movie is because of the trios' performance. I think they did an excellent job. How could a man that did "Roadhouse" be in this movie? That's what makes it so appealing. And not only be in it, but do an amazing job. Snipes made me laugh my heart out, and Leguizamo had a dark undertone to his performance that reflects the hopes and dreams of many Latinas living in poverty. I also admire the intentions of this movie. It wants to bring a message without offending or turn off the audience it intends to deliver it to. Not an easy task, but at least it's an admirable attempt. I think some of the reviewers on this site are a bit too harsh on this film. It is a fun bubble gum of a movie. Watch it and enjoy it, and in the process if you come away from it with a little more of an open mind, I think it has done its job.

This movie about three drag queens, two of whom win a trip to Hollywood, is kind of the ultimate road picture. But the three male stars look better in drag than Bing and Bob ever did. I've seen it a couple of times, and never fail to wonder at the transformation of Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo into...well, drag queens. One of the best shots in this movie is at the beginning, when Wesley Snipes' character is walking AWAY from the camera. I wish *I* looked that good.

I suppose there was a kind of freedom in making this movie, for them, because they were not playing a character that looks like them in *real life*. I started out watching because if the novelty, ended up being invested in the characters and liking the movie.

And Blythe Danner is always good, in anything she does.

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!!!

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.

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.
