| Rating | | | Date | July 30, 2005 | | Summary | Love the movie but this DVD print and color are faded and dull. | Content
| I realize this is a very old movie, however, I expected more as to quality, sharpness and color. The reds were brown and faded and I was so disappointed because in the original movie the colors added so much to this film. I so enjoyed this film, but would have appreciated it more if this DVD was of better quality. |

| The star power alone is enough reason to watch this delightful movie. Yes, it's saccharine Hollywood sentimentality and little of the over-the-top dares that made "Priscilla" what it was. But...
"Too Wong Foo" is more than worth watching, especially for the performances and the countless cameos. Kudos to all the stars for taking the risk and bringing this story on screen, and for giving performances that dare Hollywood stereotypes about "star image," when there was no Will & Grace. John Leguizamo walks away with the movie, effortlessly. If Naomi Campbell was a dragqueen, she'd be Wesley Snipes -- sure enough, she's the one who taught him how to walk in heels, rumor has it. Patrick Swayze has great moments, at times elegant, and then at times reminds one of Jack Lemon in "Some Like it Hot." What can you say about Stockard Channing except that she wins your heart. Among the most memorable cameos, the innimitable Robin Williams. And if you watch the camera pan in that same scene, you might chuckle as you catch a glimpse of none other than George Costacos.
The film's color, costumes, the unbelievable makeup and hair transformations and off-the-cuff theme, are best when they don't try to pass for real. Give me the fairytale, give me the glamor. A fun reminder of the RuPaul days. |

| I hardly recommend this movie, you can see Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo and Wesley Snipes in drag, and it`s hilarious!!!!!
Vida Boheme, Chichi Rodriguez and Naoxeme. Great performances.
Vida is an absolutely LADY!
One of the funniest films I`ve ever seen!
They said that they were inspired by Julie Newman, they said "it`s so escultural" (or something like this)
I didnt know she was Cat woman

| Normally, I'm not into comedy flicks. But this one is a little out of the ordinary. To be all straight men, Wesley, Patrick,and John played their "gay" roles quite well. At some points, their behavior reminded me of a few of my own friends, and some of the "wild" times we had years ago. That made the laughter more contagious. The scenes are well acted and the storyline is never boring at all. I even added this movie to my personal collection. Even if you're not gay or bisexual, this movie will put a smile on your face when you finish watching it.
