i missed Ma Paddy in later scenes - miss tropic tan like a day in iran - hawaii and even darker. (Paddy Ma) lights up the peaches and herb funkbuster big time hit "Shake Your Groove Thing". Color is amazing and shifting lightvalues combine for a technical organized...stroke of genius or "strike of genuiness." copyright "-"

this little bit of amazing hollywood floss has the goods. good energy - and laughs galore. no false pretense - it's light and tasty - like a roll of campino strawberry swirl candies. Jutin Tyme and Robert Kaiser are sweet as real queens and the principal female characters prove that researching a role is always key. this should do killer box office.

This ain't your Big Fat Greek Wedding by a long shot. Poorly written, offensively hack plot, no laughs. Dragging in poor Debbie Reynolds at the end to try and save this movie was the final insult. Nia do you have no shame? What have you turned into?
