Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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" morality. 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 co-stars, though. To Wong Foo is best viewed as a cultural artefact of a time when it seemed as though drag could rule all tomorrow's parties. --Ethan Brown, Amazon.com


Synopsis

5.0 out of 5 stars There are 4 steps to becoming a Queen!, 21 Mar 2003
By Mr. Js Taylor "flybynight727" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This film had me in stitches. This film even topped Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The lead roles by Snipes, Swayze & Leguiziamo really portray their charachters well. To see Wesley Snipes take on the role of Miss Noxima Jackson is an amazing barrel of laughs from start to finnish. This film is a must and well worthy of 5 stars!!

4.0 out of 5 stars SO much more than boys in dresses!, 6 May 2001
By A Customer
How can you bypass a film that boasts Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes complete with excessive amounts of satin and mascara, its a classic! Gone are Swayze's Dirty Dancing-famed bum-hugging jeans and jaw-dropping muscles, to be replaced by a super-camp girly voice and stillettos! Even Leguzamo (or some similar spelling!) pulls off a classic ugly duckling transormation from Boy-in-a-dress to Drag-Queen, making it very hard to view his as the angry little prince of cats Tybalt in the recent Romeo and Juliet remake! The film is a clever conbination of reality issues and wigs&wardrobes, it's a feel-good film yet with depth, it'll make you want to hang a picture of Julie Newmar on your dashboard and razz off through America in your clapped-out yellow convertible! "Style or Substance?"...hmmm...this film has both! Watch it-oh and watch out for Rizzo from Grease!

5.0 out of 5 stars How did they carry it off?, 12 Jul 2000
By A Customer
With two huge names in the hollywood action movie genre headlining this comedy,I was doubtful that Swayze and Snipes could ever make me see them as anything less than action men in dresses. The remarkable thing about this undoubted feel-good movie is the willingness of these guys to take such a big gamble with a script that deviates so severly from the mainstream. With a brilliant role for the delectable Stockard Channing thrown in for good measure this is one of the most entertaining pieces of cinema since 'Grease'.
