Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)

Three Australian drag queens hit the road in an old greyhound-type bus for a gig several days of driving away. There's the seen-it-all aging diva, the seasoned pro with more baggage than he lets on, and the young whippersnapper. They bicker, they turn a backwater town on its head, the bus breaks down, etc.

But there's a problem: it just doesn't ever truly let loose. Nothing's as funny as I wanted it to be and the shenanigans felt strictly PG-13 (ping pong ball scene being the notable exception).
