This is just pure campy goodness. Three drag queens head out into the Australian desert and hysterical / touching antics ensue. A movie filled with great acting on top of an original and entertaining script. It takes a bit to get used Hugo Weaving as a drag queen and to quite waiting for him to say Mr. Anderson . . . but you do get over it. A truly funny movie.
