This film really took the world by storm when it was originally released. I'm happy about that as is confirmed in many of the reviews here, this subject matter makes a lot of people uncomfortable and/or is very foreign to them. I think this is in part why it was so successful, people thought they knew these type of characters and the film dispelled a lot of negative stereotypes and really humanized them and actually made them relatable. Yes, the film looks good, the costumes are great, and the soundtrack is fun, yet also a bit pandering, and cliched. Unfortunately, the story doesn't move much beyond the cliches and we're left with a film that has lots of great elements, solid performances, and does provide a few fun and interesting moments, but are left with disappointment at how much better it could have been. Still, Priscilla is worth checking out.

This one is the one to see for funny. So much better than the American Too Wong Foo (which felt false corny and was a complete turn off). I LOVE this film. I cannot count how many times I have seen it, but it evidently is not enough because I am still going back for more. The main players could not have been exchanged for anyone else, I think, for they work so well together. Don't miss this one, it's a keeper!
