To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Oh this movie is a lot of fun. Light, frothy, sparkling, shiny fun, fun, fun. So surprising to see such macho actors turn into attractive women---although, to me, in a lot of scenes with that short haired bob wig, Patrick... Full review

This movie is much more than a showcase for middle-aged actors to strut their female stuff. It's all about how men, even homosexual men, perceive women, as opposed to the reality of women and their lives.It's a trenchant though gentle... Full review

The main reason I liked this movie is because of the trios' performance. I think they did an excellent job. How could a man that did "Roadhouse" be in this movie? That's what makes it so appealing. And not only be... Full review

I admit to being a little homophobic and i cringed at the thought of these stars in these roles( though not the case with Leguizamo- he always struck me as rather weird).My kids(12,13,13 and 18) on the other hand had... Full review

From its original conception, this film must have started as a riot. The premise of having three macho actors take on the roles of drag queens to put together a very funny and insightful comedy of the sexes must have... Full review

Maybe it's that I'm a little of a cynic, but the fact that the story of TO WONG FOO - THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JULIE NEWMAR has an incredibly unoriginal premise but manages to look so wasn't lost on me. Or... Full review

I watched this movie, probably about 9 or 10 years ago. At the time I remember being amazed at how absolutely feminine and lady-like Patrick Swayze was. I also remember that it was a "nice" story the wouldn't offend anyone.I... Full review

I think Patrick Swayze was incredible in this movie. For a male actor to make you believe he really is a female in mind and body is a large undertaking and he did this for the entire length of the... Full review

The only bad thing about this film, as with most Hollywood films in which gays are depicted, is that it perpetuates the stereotype that all gays are drag queens. Still, Snipes and Swayze are fabulous, hilarious, and courageous to risk... Full review

They deserve to be in a better movie. What is amazing is how the movie manages to be funny and amusing while tippy-toeing around (a) sex, (b) controversy and (c) any originality in the plot. ... Full Review

He brings a friendly spirit to ``Wong Foo,'' but his grasp of camp and comic outrage is thin. Wong Foo'' is pure fantasy and sets up the cross-dressers as avenging spirits of fun, frolic and frisky style. Swayze and Snipes won't win prizes ... Full Review

The film is a fun time, and that's about all that should be expected. It's almost frightening how well he lands his role, while Swayze and Snipes are more like guys acting like guys in drag. ... Full Review

Improbable as this all sounds, "Wong Foo" is a great deal of fun and a small step forward in Hollywood's depiction of homosexuals. Well, the story is set in the Midwest and is aimed at winning over mainstream audiences. ... Full Review

There's a better movie that was released later and somewhat inspired by this movie.It's called PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT, and if you're torn between that movie and this one, I'd go with that one. ... Full Article
