About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a campy, upbeat road-trip comedy with lots of heart, bold style, and an acceptance message; Not for you if you dislike broad stereotypes, sentimentality, or a loose, stop-and-go plot like Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Pros: big-hearted humor; memorable one-liners; feel-good acceptance theme | Cons: broad stereotypes; uneven, episodic story; some dated moments
