Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/sexual harassment/attempted sexual assault/domestic abuse/domestic violence/rainbow language/references to racism and somewhere in this content will be links to race, so I would like to point out I am not a racist in the slightest.

Three Drag Queens come to a little town called Snydersville: basically; three drag queens have got to wait some days in this town whilst they wait for this vehicle part; first we have other name/Vida Boheme [Patrick Swayze:] this American person is elegance personified, other name/Noxeema Jackson [ Wesley Snipes:] this African-American person has a very wide knowledge of movies and putting was mostly this individual doesn't like it when you don't have manners and finally we have other name/Chi-Chi Rodriguez [John Leguizamo:] this Latin American is our least experienced drag queen, but this person has been taken under the wing of the other two drag queens and this is their story.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 105 minutes film is good; it settles down to its task and just get on with it

Comedy, action and art; there are comical references from time to time in the dialogue exchanges, Jackson tries to keep up with this person or/and later on just carries on talking about films until this same silent person begins to talk or/and later on; Jackson decides to crush some nights to teach these individuals some manners on how to talk to ladies, obviously the art has to be the costume and wardrobe design; as they are fabulous; it is just a shame that this project got given nominees for this as they really should have

Character developments and performances; now as I said earlier I am in no way shape or form being racist; but having said that if these characteristics are what they are I can't be held responsible for them. Our trio of drag queens each faultlessly and very naturally embody what it is to be an American, African American and Latin American with also on top of that Rodriguez being mentors to be a better drag queen; which from time to time as you would expect there to be some free-flowing and frank back and forth not only between themselves but also other people from time to time; Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo should have got either a nominee as it relates to Snipes or/and so many more positive award nominees or/and awards because of their performances in this film that is for sure and behind them are these excellent characters/performers such as the entire cast; RuPaul as Rachel Tensions; this person is handing over their title and  Robin Williams as John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: he can get his hands on things that our trio is looking for.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it is a modern-day classic and should be definitely seen once in your lifetime, even though I struggled actually to be more precise I forgot the title, but I remember this film by its trio leading performers so I got this film title by their names; which they should made it catchier and smaller; but that is beside the point; even though this film was released in 1995; it still holds great value as these people coming to this location, they don't mean any harm but also they don't push their way of life on to these folks, I mean other than teaching some manners, it has a great sense of balance, but in hindsight maybe this film was too much before its time and just to cover my back when you think this film is finished there is one more sequence. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; 3 Nominees GLAAD Media Awards 1996  GLAAD Media Award Outstanding Film, Golden Globes, USA 1996 Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Patrick Swayze and Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture John Leguizamo
