It just blew me away ...

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2009)

I can't believe that this movie is so little known.
Not only has it got pinches of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Tommy", it also plays in the same league as the above. Storywise AND music-wise that is.
I saw it at a friend's house just recently and could not believe that I never had heard of it before. When I further discovered, that I was humming "The Origin of Love" the whole next day without even noticing, I ordered the DVD and Soundtrack right away. Since it's a 2001-movie, I got both at a very reasonable price. Can't wait until they arrive and I can see it again in Dolby Surround.
It's original, it's witty, the songs are great, why don't you check it out right away? You won't be disappointed!
I'd give it a well-earned 10, but I have to deduct 1 for John Cameron Mitchell's unshaved armpits ... an absolute no-go for a "girl".
