A Brilliant Conflict

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Here's the thing: I love drag queen movies. They are the perfect mix of cheesy, preachy, and crude. Cherry pop is a great queen movie at heart, but my problem with it resides in the basic message. This movie is about a straight man who dresses up as a drag queen not because it's his dream or he feels like a drag queen, but instead to catch his big break. That just doesn't sit well with me! First of all, drag is an lgbt thing. It's weird to have a straight white man appropriate gay culture, but not that weird. Like, if his dream was to be a drag queen and he really just wanted to live that lifestyle, then I think it would be totally fine that he was straight. However, his ultimate goal is not to be a drag queen. He just wants to preform. There's nothing wrong with that, it's judt not fair for him to use drag as a way to climb to the top! This isn't his culture and he has no particular love for drag, so he's literally just using it for personal gain and that just doesn't sit right with me. If the message hadn't been so accepting of blatant disrespect for gay culture, than I would've rated this WAY higher than two stars, but unfortunately I just can't support this message. It's a great movie, I just hate the main character!

I don't know, I think some of you may not have a sense of humor. This was FUNNY!Goofy and funny! I would absolutely watch this again! The soundtrack wa ss a pleasant surprise too - hilarious

This movie took me back to the years when i used to work with trans gendered and cross dressers .. man i miss those days this is severely the best drag movie i have ever seen laugh out loud funny the whole way I will be watching this again and i don't do that often after seeing only two stars on google i had to review this with 10 stars and this is the first review i have ever made about a movie thank you all so much for the laughs i really needed it much love xo ELDAFYRE XOXO www.eldafyre.com

I'm a huge fan of Drag Race, and couldn't wait to see this movie. Unfortunately, there were a lot of lines that were really disrespectful to women. The queens spend a scene talking about how disgusting a vagina is, sing a song making light of abortion (I'm pro-choice, but it is usually a seriously difficult situation), and just generally bash women. I'm all for men dressing in drag, especially to express femininity since our culture tells them to suppress that, but don't make fun of women, you still get to walk around the world as a man. Borrowing women's culture of dresses, makeup, shoes, hair, mannerism, etc., is fine, great even, but to be so disrespectful is not a good look.
