Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.

this movie makes me so happy :) I love everything about it! but what I love the most is how the three main actors approached their roles so respectfully and PERFECTLY (I've read they based their performances on women from their own families), which I find pretty heartwarming considering this is a 28 year old movie and they weren't actors I would have guessed to be cast in a movie like this; even though it does line up with their images as *badasses*, but just not in the conventional way. I hope Snipes and Leguizamo are still aware of how important this movie is for a lot of people, as I hope Mr. Swayze is resting in peace 💐 "I don't think of you as a man, and I don't think of you as a woman. I think of you as an angel."

A silly but cute movie. And I'm still surprised Swayze, Snipes and Leguizamo were up for this way back in 1995.

Although it often crosses over into stereotype and sentimentality, this film is made likeable by its fabulous cast. Vida (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema (Wesley Snipes) are co-winners in a New York drag queen contest. They win a trip to Hollywood to compete in a national pageant. Taking pity on drag qu More
