Extravagances

I think Patrick Swayze was incredible in this movie. For a male actor to make you believe he really is a female in mind and body is a large undertaking and he did this for the entire length of the movie. I was entertained from beginning to end, and I also saw Priscilla and liked this just as much. Robin Williams has a little cameo at the beginning that is hilarious, and Stockard Channing does a great job as a small town abused wife. Great movie to watch on a weekend afternoon when you just want to escape and laugh!

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."

'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!

I LOVED this movie.We were at best buy,I saw it,and bought it on this simple premise-Patrick Swayze in drag.And it looked like a good movie. So I went home,popped it in,and literally laughed out loud.There's something in this drag queen movies,that makes it almost not offensive.I was afraid it would be bad,(We're Christian)but honestly,I wasn;t offended.

The movie was so good,so sweet,so down right hysterical at times,I almost forgot Patrick swayze was a man.He could have easily blended into our church.

The film starts out With PS and WS getting ready.That scene in itself is hysterical,because we see these rugged,masculine men-Putting on heels and stockings and makeup.WS,at one point,kicks his legs and squeals with delight.

They go to the Drag queen of the year award,WS and PS tie,and ge to go to Hollywood.But when the little"Latin boy in drag is crying"they decide to string him along,and they get stuck in podunk town.

There's a Cameo from Robin Williams thats excellent,And the townswomen are so sweet.and Noxeema(snipes)Befriends a little 4'9,80 pound elderly women.

Cant get any beter than that

In a position where I've never watched an overwhelmingly camp film in my life, it was time to change that. As you know, I like to tackle each sub-genre with an open mind, alas I remained sceptical that this might just be too much for me. Turns out, it was highly enjoyable. Three drag queens embark on a road trip from New York to California where they encounter a small rural hamlet that is stuck in an archaic environment. Firstly, credit to my partner for persuading me to watch this. Secondly, if you haven't watched it already, do so now. A 90s road trip more flamboyant than RuPaul himself, it's a story primarily focused on acceptance. The drag lifestyle is one that seemingly felt foreign to many, so to retain the drag style for the three lead characters throughout its entire runtime naturally suited the message. Snipes, Swayze and Leguizamo, three heterosexual actors, literally gave transformative performances to the point where I didn't even recognise them. The costumes, the makeup, the accentuated body movements, they embraced their roles acknowledging that these were risky career decisions. Enjoyable cameos from the likes of Robin Williams and RuPaul also. Beane's screenplay had me laugh on several occasions, most notably for Noxeema Jackson who is unquestionably the sassiest character in the film. It's light, fun and lifted by gay buoyancy. The narrative does mostly consist of smaller underdeveloped sub-plots stringed together, such as an obvious domestic abuse situation, a sheriff who is homophobic, racist and sexist and a romance between two local teenagers. The main plot becomes lost, you forget why they are on this road trip. Unfortunately, due to the timing of its release, it is extremely similar to 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'. However, I'm more than happy for two identical films to inject LGBT culture into mainstream audiences. So I must say 'To Beeban Kidron, Thanks for Directing a Solid Road Trip Film!'. Hold up, who even is Wong Foo? An unsolved mystery it seems...
