It's no RHPS, but it still rocks!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2001)

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is destined to become a cult classic, but it's certainly doesn't compare to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Hedwig, however, has a LOT going for it and definitely deserves much more attention than it has recieved. There are a lot of close-minded people out there who would probably refuse to see it based on some of the content. I don't know why though, because the worst you'll get out of this movie is descriptions (there is no frontal nudity!). It's the story of Hansel's journey of self-awareness through song. It's underlying message is easily relayed: be what you want, you don't need to conform to anyone else's wishes; although you may get screwed over you can always come out on top.
