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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - To Wong Fu Thanks for Everything Julie NewmarI have treasured this movie for years. I own the vhs version, but rarely want to take the time and trouble ( all that rewinding) to get it out. With the new and used option at Amazon it is very simple to find your favorites at great prices with just a few clicks of a button. Who can imagine those three hansome guys posing as women? Hard to believe but they do it well. Even with those bulging muscles they all are great at portraying elegant "Drag Queens". This movie is wonderful, funny, and setimental. ...

So thank you for having this movie on stock Rating:  - THE MOVIE THAT KILLED THREE CAREERSAh yes, the movie that killed three careers. Wesley Snipes was a respected action man until he put on a dress in this movie. Same with Swayze. Leguizamo is at least a comic, but when was the last time you saw him in anything either. Now I know Swayze is sick, so I'm not bashing him. Just being honest. If you want to maintain your reputation as a leading man DO NOT put on a dress. Swayze himself was quoted as feeling very bitter over the reaction to this movie. "I don't care what people think of me anymore", ... Read More Rating: - Omg! Hilarious!!To Wong Foo.. is a classic! This is a movie that you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. It teaches you to accept yourself, the three actors are splendiferous, and its funny at the same time! I would reccommend this movie for everyone...its just great (just look at the the reviews!!) Rating:  - Disappointed with Packaging for MailI wasn't as happy this time with Movie Mars as I have been in past purchases. The movie arrived later than anticipated and the DVD box was either tampered with or broken during shipping. As a collector I feel the box is important and when it is damaged it doesn't display well. Other than that I have had many positive purchasing experiences with Movie Mars, and I do plan to continue purchasing from them. |
