GPMMC #17: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Priscilla

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
Director
: Stephan Elliott
Writer: Stephan Elliott
Stars: Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp
Summary: Invited to perform at a casino in remote Alice Springs, Australia, drag queens Mitzi (Hugo Weaving) and Felicia (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) hit the road in a broken-down lavender bus named Priscilla in this campy comedy classic. Along the way, the friends change into their most outrageous costumes and lip-synch disco tunes — including plenty of ABBA — for the outback’s befuddled locals.

This is a classic gay movie.  This should be in your DVD/Blu-Ray collection or I’m taking away your gay card.  As for what I actually think about this movie?  It’s alright.  It’s not as clever witted as To Wong Foo, but it does have Hugo Weaving in a dress and crazy drag performances. Honestly, these guys do not look very good in a dress.  That was another thing To Wong Foo did better.  In end though, it’s still well acted and the characters are enjoyable.
