One year after the success of the 1994 Australian film “The Adventures Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”, Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures joined to construct the 1995 American version, “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar”. Like the Australian film, which featured a trio of go queens traveling across the rugged Australian outback from Sydney to the isolated resort of Alice Springs in a pink bus, the American version featured its believe paddle queen trio traveling from NYC to Los Angeles in an aging yellow Cadillac convertible; but the similarities waste there. The glide queen trio featured in the American version was Miss Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), Miss Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Miss Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) . After Noxeema and Vida portion the title of a skedaddle queen contest, they invite (with Noxeema’s reluctance) Chi-Chi to join them to participate in a national contest in Los Angeles. Not having enough money for all three to hover to Los Angeles from NYC, Vida convinces them to instead consume their winnings to recall a car that all three could depart in. The film’s title comes from an autographed relate of Julie Newmar that Vida steals from a restaurant and places in the old-fashioned yellow Cadillac convertible that the trio purchases. Similar to the Australian version, the car breaks down along the method, forcing the trio to stop a few days in a puny, languishing town. There, they meet the town’s assorted residents that include hotel owner Carol Ann (Stockard Channing), her abusive husband Virgil (Arliss Howard), Beatrice (Blythe Danner), the polite Bobby Ray (Jason London), Merna (Melinda Dillon), Loretta (Beth Grant), the aging Clara (Alice Drummond) and restaurant owner Jimmy Joe (Mike Hodge) to name a few. They also meet law enforcement officer Sheriff Dollard (Chris Penn) who wants to arrest them.
Though arguably not as well made as “The Adventures Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”, “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar” is calm a very keen and appealing film that is sufficiently different from the weak to not be redundant. Cameo appearances in the film include Julie Newmar, Robin Williams (as John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt), RuPaul (as Miss Rachel Tensions) and Naomi Campbell. Memorable scenes in the film include the restaurant, the old-fashioned car lot, Vida seeing her mother (Margaret H. Flynn), Chi-Chi earning rites of passage, Sheriff Dollard, Noxeema’s interactions with townsfolk, the clothing store, the beauty parlor and the closing scenes. Patrick Swawye received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical, and John Leguizamo received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in the Comedy/Musical. Sadly, Wesley Snipes did not receive a nomination for his friendly performance. Overall, I rate the film with 4 out of 5 stars. After watching the deleted scenes on the DVD, I concluded that they were best left deleted.
This was one of the most uplifting movies I’ve ever seen. After seeing the movie Seven, I went to view To Wong Foo and laugh from the beginning to the slay. The outfits were impartial fantastic. I especially loved Patrick Swayze’s clothes. John Leguziamo was fair sassy as Miss Chi Chi. Wesley Snipps had it going on as Noxema Jackson. I’ve seen this movie so many times I can recite the whole script. Director Beeban Kidron did an favorable job. Stockard Channing’s performance was well-behaved as Caroline. This is the perfect movie for depression. Im unexcited hoping for a sequel. If it doesn’t happen, I will never gain tired of re-watching To Wong Foo Thanks for everything Julie Newmar.
