The Adventures Of Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert


The Adventures Of Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert (1994)

Seen on TV - I don't actually remember the date.


STORY: 5.5/7
Anthony "Tick" Belrose AKA Mitzi Del Bra (Hugo Weaving) takes a roadtrip into the center of Australia to perform a drag show. He takes along friend Bernadette Bassenger (Terrence Stamp) and fellow performer Adam "Felicia" Whitely (Guy Pearce.)

ACTING: 5/7
Hugo Weaving is quite believable and makes himself a very deep and thoughtful character as does Terrence Stamp. Guy Pearce, on the other hand, plays an absolute stereotype of the flaming-homosexual-drag-queen.

SCORE / SOUND: 5.5/7
The soundtrack for this movie is totally great. It's uber-gay and fun fun fun. Of course, there is a bit of ABBA in it, which is gross, but it's just so cool.


OVERALL: 5.5/7
