Stop comparing it to RHPS

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2002)

I have commented on this movie already. Frankly, it's a visionary rock
odyssey that has deep meaning and just plain kicks ass.
The only reason it is being compared to Rocky Horror is because the
main character dresses in women's clothing. Hedwig is not Frank - a lot
of people don't seem to understand this. Things that both Hedwig and Rocky have in common: they both started
out as independent musical plays which gained cult status and were made
into movies. That's about it. To compare Hedwig and Rocky any further is
absurd. They are two different entities. Also, Hedwig has only had one midnight showing to date, with another
coming up soon in New York, but I honestly, seriously doubt it will ever
replace RHPS. There's just no way. Hedwig is destined to become a cult
favorite, but Rocky it is not.
10 out of 10 stars.............
