A funny movie that makes you think

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2004)

This movie is great! It addresses the issues of homosexuality, transvestitism, and gender changes with a funny, optimistic attitude. The acting by Weaving, Stamp, and Pierce is great and humorous, and the costumes (which won a 1994 Oscar) are amazing. The movie is not limited to the happy-go-lucky side of the three companions' lives as performers, but also has its fair share of exposing the discrimination experienced by drag queens and trans genders. The soundtrack is mainly disco and dance music, so this may be irritating to those who aren't big on ABBA! However, it's priceless watching the heroes of the story parading around to dance hits while dressed up in outlandish ostrich costumes. I definitely recommend this movie; just remember to keep an open mind!
