To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything [VHS]

This clunky road movie about three drag queens (Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguziamo) who get stranded in a sleepy Nebraska town on their way to a beauty contest, is too uplifting for its own good. Released during drag's mid-'90s heyday when RuPaul and the Wigstock documentary were all the rage, To Wong Foo aimed straight for the mainstream with its inoffensive camp and "can't we all get along" moralism. While gay-activist groups howled about straights getting the lead roles in To Wong Foo, in the end the filmmakers really couldn't have done better than this trio of actors. John Leguziamo provides real sass and bite as a Latino (or should we saw Latina?) drag queen, and Wesley Snipes is surprisingly fierce as the imposing leader of the pack. Saddled with a cloying Southern accent and off-kilter wig, Patrick Swayze barely holds his own with his costars, though. To Wong Foo is best viewed as a cultural artifact of a time when it seemed as though drag could rule all tomorrow's parties. --Ethan Brown

Makes you laugh, makes you tearry eyed.....great film! Makes me miss Patrick Swayze!!! -- HAHA
i love this movie its hilarious and they sent it to me right after i purchased it and i got it in 2-3 days -- to wong foo thanks for everything
Three New-York transvestite beauties consuming their prize money headed for a Hollywood oncoming contest, were stranded in a Nebraska hamlet and changed lives of this local sleeping place supposedly forever.

It is a far cry from

The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Deserton merits of either musical or panoramically-visual cinematography but a relaxing entertaining comedy of then American routine outside tourist attractions.
-- Enjoying America
THOSE DRAG QUEENS HAD ME LAUGHING. WESLEY SNIPES WAS UGLY IN DRAG. THE PUERTO RICAN WAS PRETTY IN DRAG. -- GREAT MOVIE
Had so much FUN watching this again. More so now, because I own the DVD and can watch it anytime. Arrived in good condition and in a timely manner. Would recommend it to anyone. -- Excellent!
