I have not had the opportunity to laugh out loud like this in a very long time! Three men play three women with lust in there hearts and stars in there eyes in an homage to sketch comedy, B-movies, bad wigs, tasteless humor, and everything else that was not nailed down.
Intentionally silly plot twists and over-the-top acting make what could have been a very bland "Hollywood production" into a laugh-fest that will keep you smiling everytime you see a can of Cheez Wiz. There were several shameful laughs at everything from incontinence to abortions to rape to suicide. This movie is a wake-up call for anyone that actually thought that "To Wong Foo..." was funny and not patronizing to men in drag.
So put some sass in a glass, loosen your corsette, and see this flick with somebody that doesn't think your laugh is stupid!
Plot summary
Nothing stirs up the competitive spirit in haggard Hollywood has-been Evie Harris like having to share a house with a younger actress like Varla. Especially since Varla happens to be the daughter of Evie's now-deceased rival! But even as their saner roommate, Coco, attempts to keep the peace, Evie's jealousy over Varla's burgeoning infomercial career is about to explode... in the most spectacular, showstopping way possible!

A Movie for the Backstabbing Woman in All of Us!
Very funny and different
A comedy/drama with guys in drag playing the three female leads. Over the hill actress Evie Harris (Jack Plotnick) and her maid Coco (Clinton Leupp) bring in a housemate--young energetic Varla (Jeffrey Roberson). However it turns out Varla is the daughter of Evie's long-decreased rival. Coco tries to keep everything under control but it doesn't work.
The film is very funny--full of vicious bitchy humor which mostly works. Plotnick spits out toxic lines with ease, Leupp plays straight man most of the time and Roberson is full of life and energy. It moves quickly (it's only 80 minutes) has some incredible costumes and production design (Evie's house alone is a jaw-dropper) and has some nice eye candy from hunky Ron Mathews (playing Stevie--Evie's son). However some of the jokes fall flat (or are TOO vicious) and it takes an unwise turn to all out drama towards the end...but the VERY end is a happy one. A one of a kind and not really great but is worth catching.
fun campy thang
LOVE Sam Pancake Coco Peru ! so funny. and of course, Dennis Hensley has been doing his awesome, hilarious fundraisers in Los Angeles for YEARS. SO many funny lines in this one. i roared! doesn't really matter what the plot is, but there actually is one! it's just one funny line after another. Evie, Varla, and Coco duke it out, and try to live together without killing each other, as they get through each sad, stormy, crazy day. Written and directed by Richard Day... has written SO many popular TV shows. I HIGHLY recommend this one. Campy, silly, fun! and go see all these people on stage -- they are all still performing in and around LA and nuevo York ! Sam Pancake, Coco, and Dennis Hensley.
