2004 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 38 min
Director: Michael Lembeck
Starring: Nia Vardalos, Toni Collette, David Duchovny, Stephen Spinella, Alec Mapa, Ian Gomez
Two would-be stars accidentally witness a crime and have to go on the run. They wind up in a bar performing show tunes as drag queens... and that's when things get complicated.
Genius premise - possibly the most inventive from writer Nia Vardalos, who also co-stars in this musical comedy. Toni Collette is her unwavering sidekick and, when dressed in drag, bears a striking resemblance to Liza Minelli. I never noticed that before. Huh.
So, yes, I love this one. It's full of fun songs and fabulous drag queens. And it really looks like they had a blast making this one. Well done all around and highly underrated. More people need to see this one.
