Featured reviews
The person who reviewed this film from L.A obviously has some issues. Does that surprise us of an L.A. person? How can you down a church choir. Get a life. I thought the film was very funny and has a lot of great scenes. Rent the film its good. I thought the "water" issue was not played out very well. This film has some very good characters,especially the scene with the mother finding out about her daughter being a lesbian,very Cruella DeVille,I laugh until it hurts when I saw this scene. The film was shot in Texas "George Bush Country" I can only imagine that some people here in Texas would think the water could cause people to become gay.You should really check out this film it has some great laughs.
This is a wonderful movie of discovery. One of my first expirences with lesbians in film and I love it. The Texas drawl is a bit thick but most of the characters are dynamically portrayed. This movie is on my Top Ten list of Coming Out Movies of all time.
This is a really touching film. I saw it when it was originally released and i still love it now. Although it may not be for everyone's taste I think that you just have to go see it with an open mind! For those of you who come from a small town out in the sticks where everyone knows everyone elses business this is for you! If you don't want to buy it then rent it, at the very least you'll laugh once and be entertained for 100 minutes of your life!!
This movie pokes fun at society and how narrow minded people can really be, you can actually see some of these things happening, maybe not all in the same town, but happening still. The issues are portrayed in a great light, humor. If messages wanted to be sent, they would be understood in this movie. A definite must see.
This enjoyable movie relies largely on caricature to achieve its comedic ends and it does so quite well. Lots of good lines here especially for the Spenser character. I thought the love scenes were handled tastefully if somewhat conventionally. I give it 7 out of 10.
