Average Rating: 
Rating: - Wonderfully fun and heartfelt film!
I was hesitant to see this film, because I thought it would be an Americanized version of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," which was a wonderful film in itself. But "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" was so much more! It was a delightful piece of heaven with three charming angels! :) Initially, I really didn't think such macho men like Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes could pull off playing refined ladies of drag, but they were FABULOUS! And John Leguizamo was great - as anticipated - such an incredibly talented actor! And the story, was charming. Such heart!
While most of the film was fun-loving and light-hearted, I was moved by some of the "heavier" issues as well: Rich boy Swayze is rejected by his family because of his drag life; Swayze is almost molested by a bad cop, who thinks to take advantage of a "lady" on the road; Snipes' character inadvertantly reaches out to a withdrawn woman, a small town turns a blind eye to a battered woman, but Swayze's "queen" cannot; and all three queens help the women of a small town to empower themselves and play in a world of glamor and beauty. It was very empowering to watch these men dressed as women make such a wonderful statement for so many communities (whether they intended to do so or not). As someone else posted here, it's mainly about acceptance and love and the power those things can have in one's life. "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!"
Rating: - To "Good" To Wong Foo
This was one of the most uplifting movies I've ever seen. After seeing the movie Seven, I went to see To Wong Foo and laugh from the beginning to the end. The outfits were just wonderful. I especially loved Patrick Swayze's clothes. John Leguziamo was just sassy as Miss Chi Chi. Wesley Snipps had it going on as Noxema Jackson. I've seen this movie so many times I can recite the whole script. Director Beeban Kidron did an excellent job. Stockard Channing's performance was excellent as Caroline. This is the perfect movie for depression. Im still hoping for a sequel. If it doesn't happen, I will never get tired of re-watching To Wong Foo Thanks for everything Julie Newmar.
Rating: - A Fine, Fun and Snazzy Film, anything but a Drag!
This movie is one of those rare perfect films. Casting is brilliant (especially Stockard Channing, who only gets better and better as the years go by--and she was always totally incapable of less than a fantastic performance). The general plot line of the movie is a congenial road trip, as three drag queens drive from New York City to California to compete in a contest, and the themes are fulfilling.In essence, the movie deals with the healing of "broken people." (For other such films, see such gems as "Batteries Not Included" and "Fried Green Tomatoes.") The unlikely angels? The three drag queens. The situation? Their car breaks down in a red-neck hamlet. Unlikely hijinks and dangerous confrontations lead to a satisfying conclusion. And Julie Newmar was never better!
