Editorial Review:
This clunky road movie about three drag queens (Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguziamo) who get stranded in a sleepy Nebraska town on their way to a beauty contest, is too uplifting for its own good. Released during drag's mid-'90s heyday when RuPaul and the Wigstock documentary were all the rage, To Wong Foo aimed straight for the mainstream with its inoffensive camp and "can't we all get along" moralism. While gay-activist groups howled about straights getting the lead roles in To Wong Foo, in the end the filmmakers really couldn't have done better than this trio of actors. John Leguziamo provides real sass and bite as a Latino (or should we saw Latina?) drag queen, and Wesley Snipes is surprisingly fierce as the imposing leader of the pack. Saddled with a cloying Southern accent and off-kilter wig, Patrick Swayze barely holds his own with his costars, though. To Wong Foo is best viewed as a cultural artifact of a time when it seemed as though drag could rule all tomorrow's parties. --Ethan Brown

Rating:  - Omg! Hilarious!!
To Wong Foo.. is a classic!
This is a movie that you can watch over and over and never get tired of it. It teaches you to accept yourself, the three actors are splendiferous, and its funny at the same time!
I would reccommend this movie for everyone...its just great (just look at the the reviews!!)
Rating:  - Disappointed with Packaging for Mail
I wasn't as happy this time with Movie Mars as I have been in past purchases. The movie arrived later than anticipated and the DVD box was either tampered with or broken during shipping. As a collector I feel the box is important and when it is damaged it doesn't display well. Other than that I have had many positive purchasing experiences with Movie Mars, and I do plan to continue purchasing from them.

This was a surprisingly good movie. Sweet, a good message and you just have to see Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze & John Leguizamo in drag.
Rating: - Patrick Swayze
The first time I saw this movie, I totally fell in love with it. Patrick Swayze makes such a beautiful woman. Well, why not, he is such a handsome man!!! I love this movie so much that I purchased 2 of them so that my daughter could have one for her collection. She had never seen it so we watched it together while she was home for spring break from college and she loved it too. She said she was going to make sure to get her whole sorority to watch it too.
Rating:  - Patrick in Drag
Patrick Swayze is magnificent in this story of a three drag queens journeying across country from NY to LA. They win the hearts of a small town and eventually one of them wins the national drag queen title. It is a good movie with many funny situations and addresses discrimination and spouse abuse in a hilarious manner.
