Editorial Reviews: 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

It arrived within the time stated by Amazon. I enjoy the movie due to the laughs. Customer Rating: Summary: I never received it! Comment: I never received this. In fact, I had forgotten that I had ordered it until I received this request for a review. Now I'm really upset. Customer Rating: Summary: One the funniest movies I have ever seen.... Comment: To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie NewmarBarnone, one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The now late Patrick Swayze a.k.a Vita Bohem who recently succumbed to Pancreatic Cancer, was brilliant in this, as were Weslie Snipes a.k.a Noxema Jackson and John Leguizamo a.k.a Chi Chi Rodriguez in their cross country quest for queendom. I like the fact that all the aforementioned actors are known for their masculinity and pull off androgyny quite convincingly. My order arrived as described. Five Star DVD with 5 Star service from both Amazon and MovieMArs. Customer Rating: Summary: Love this movie Comment: This movie is absolutely my favorite of all times, thank you amazon for having it to where I could order it. Love this site.
