Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
Director: John Cameron Mitchell
Writers: John Cameron Mitchell, and Stephen Trask
Stars: John Cameron Mitchell, Miriam Shor and Stephen Trask
Summary: After a botched sex-change operation, East German glam rocker Hansel (John Cameron Mitchell) becomes Hedwig and travels across the United States with a stage show, following her ex-boyfriend (and former band mate) and telling her life story. Hedwig’s offbeat show slays audiences — but in diners not clubs. Mitchell also wrote and directed the comedy, which won at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for several Independent Spirit Awards.

You know, I thought I was going to hate this movie.  I really did.  Fortunately, I didn’t think this was that bad and somewhat enjoyable.  The performances were great and the music is fantastic.  I don’t know what more to say about it.  I didn’t think this film was amazing, but it was good.
