75Not a great, breakout comedy, but more the kind of movie that might eventually become a regular on the midnight cult circuit.
-
75This is one light comedy whose seriousness, hours later, lingers in the mind.
-
70Not as skillful, subtle, or hilarious as "Some Like It Hot," but its anti-essentialism vis-à-vis gender roles is just as sharp and exhilarating.
-
70As a ditz who's just smart enough to know something isn't right, Lyonne blends hyperbole and sincerity in perfect proportions.
-
63Amusing and good-natured, but necessarily thin.
-
63It's the year's funniest, most absurd sight gag.
-
60So campy it reflexively sends an elbow to its own ribs.
-
58Though no classic, the concept is a clever one.
-
58Disarmingly funny in its own naive way.
-
Certainly no comedic masterpiece, but it does offer a few fine moments of biting satire.
-
50As featherweight as its title, but Lyonne gives a winning performance and the mischievous story packs a few good laughs.
-
50There is probably an amusing movie to be made about camps that try to "rehabilitate" homosexuals - but this thuddingly stupid satire isn't it.
-
50Most of the film's imagination and energy seem to have gone into the clever casting and flamboyant costume and set design.
-
50Rises above its problems to deliver the essential goods.
-
50Too limp to deliver.
-
40The opening moments of -- are some of the funniest --the rest of the movie beats you over the head with jokes, and though funny in parts, it's never this smart again.
-
38It's a lame and painfully overextended satire of homophobia.
-
38Tries to be both poignant and wicked, and succeeds at neither.
-
38A fairy tale full of fascist, Bible-thumping straights, self-deluded and pathetic gay people who deny their impulses, and two honest lesbians who triumph.
-
30Limp satire isn't worthy of its good intentions.
-
30Even with the outlandish characters, gaudy colors and gay satire, this smug John Waters knockoff can't stand up to the real thing.
-
30So sniggeringly one-sided that the picture has no tension.
-
30A shallow, only mildly entertaining satire
-
25Tedious and trite.
-
25Repetitive and tedious.
-
Many of the most absurd things on view in this film are absolutely true.
-
20Lyonne, as usual, does her best...but she's running uphill.
-
20Works against its goals.
-
20Relentlessly offensive.
-
0Poisonously smug, one-joke indie comedy.
