Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

The Story: Three drag queens on a road trip from New York to Hollywood are forced to spend the weekend in a small country town.

Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes in drag. If that doesn’t make you want to watch this movie, then I don’t know what else to say.

Allie recently found To Wong Foo in a sale bin at FYE for two bucks and totally freaked. Needless to say, we now own it. Our collection of the best comedies of the 90’s is one step closer to being complete!


Why do we like TWF so much? Many reasons, but most importantly it is mind blowing to see how well the dudes from Road House and Blade can master the snap. I didn’t even realize that John Leguizamo was the Latin drag queen until we were twenty minutes into it the other day. There’s also some pretty funny dialog. Oh, and there’s an actual uplifting story in there too, so next time it’s movie night with the girls, pull this one out of the comedy section at the Buster. You won’t be disappointed.
