To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar (1995)

Thanks, but no thanks...

Two drag queens tie for first place in the local drag contest and win a trip to California for the national event. Vida (Patrick Swayze) takes pity on another contestant, Chi-Chi (John Leguizamo), and convinces Noxeema (Wesley Snipes) to take him under their wing, trade in their airfare for a beaten up Cadillac and drive to their destination instead. Their car breaks down in middle-of-nowhere Nebraska and sets the stage for this "fish out of water" comedy.

It wasn't very good. I don't think it was supposed to be "good", though. It fails as a comedy in every way with the exception of casting Wesley Snipes as a drag queen. The guy is the personification of masculinity, so his lines are funny. The message of "Drag queens are people, too" is ever present and the town's enthusiastic acceptance is unbelievable. Some heavy issues are dealt with as well, but never in a way that would make you forget this is supposed to be a comedy. It wasn't funny, though, and those in need of this movie's message are it's least likely audience. 

2/5
