Plot summary

Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles.

John Leguizamo was so good, I kept thinking he was Rosie Perez!

Fun, harmless entertaining. Nothing to get excited about, but it is amusing thanks to it's strange casting choices. Any movie with Stockard Channing has to have some merit! Swayze and Snipes are fun and Rosie Perez (oops!) is hysterical. Leguizamo deserves a lot more recognition for his body of work.

Uplifting comedy drama with a powerful message.

'To Wong Foo' offers you the chance to see Swayze, Snipes, and Leguizamo like you've never seen them before - especially macho Snipes! And dare I say, they look gorgeous!!'To Wong Foo' is a flamboyant, outrageous and somewhat daring comedy drama with fantastic performances by the lead actors. The film features stunning costumes and make-up. We follow the adventures of three drag queens on a road trip to Los Angeles. Choosing style over substance soon proves to be a big mistake for our three heroes (or should I say heroins). When they find themselves stranded in a conservative small town called Snydersville, they decide to make the most of a dire situation - and never anticipated changing the lives of everyone around them in the process.'To Wong Foo' is predominantly a comedy, but delivers some fine dramatic moments as well. This is a wonderful, uplifting comedy drama with a positive message. I enjoyed the musical elements thrown in the mix, and good dialogue, as well. I love this film!
