Hey, looky there! It’s men. And they like the movie! Whaddya know? After telling my husband that I mentioned him in my review he got a reminiscent grin on his face and told me that he kind of liked the movie too. I guess that it’s not quite as off-putting to the heterosexual male demographic as I once thought. Yay for being wrong! (But just this once…)

Eunice-You really should. It’s quite harmless, really, and perfect for the aforementioned days when you just wanna watch something fluffy and feel-good.

I saw this film. I thought it was funny, and I’m a heterosexual male. Mainly becauseWesley Snipes always looks hard as nails, even when he’s in a dress and he just amps up the man factor by 5 just for being in it

I really enjoy Too Wong Foo. I think your review is pretty spot on though, it’s pretty much luke warm. While trying to get any of my more conservative, hetero friends to watch it is always a pain, once I do they tend to enjoy it. It’s not a movie most will see more than once, but I think it’s funny enough to give a shot.

This was a movie I just kinda kept forgetting about. You have inspired me to give it a shot.

Thanks for the comment, WD40, and much kudos for even reading this! I sincerely wasn’t even sure anyone would, as pretty much all of the male audience would barely finish reading the title before yelling “NO THANK YOU!”, most females would be disappointed and stop reading the moment they realized I wasn’t giving it a glowing review. Then again I am speaking very generally of both sexes here and am probably wrong, but this is the main reason why it took such a kick in the pants for me to finally review this film.

Thanks for that little bit of insight on the DG/Wong Foo connection. That makes much more sense than anything I could come up with.

I cannot hold your reaction against you. As I’ve already taken too many words to say, I would never have gotten past the first few minutes, much less watched this movie more than once, if it weren’t for the guys’ genius performances that made these ridiculous characters somewhat believable, real, and worth sympathizing with.

RIP, Patrick Swayze. You were a VERY multi-talented individual.

I don’t know Heather. I’m just not sure I could do it. I enjoyed reading your review though. Cool how you worked “Red Dawn” in there.

As for “Sasquatch Hunters”, well… at least you got a review out of it.

As for “Doom Generation” (which I haven’t seen, but have read enough about here that I know to stay away), I’m guessing it might have been recommended because they’re both road movies (if memory serves)? Still, pretty freaking random, though.
