corny, tacky piece of garbage, the humor is all based on cheesy gay stereotypes. the crazy drag queen, the faghag, the gogo boy with a heart, the nerdy boy whos gorgeous but doesn't know it. how dumb! i wish movies with gay themes could be made that have at least something to do with reality.

... it doesn't go behind the scenes at all to give u any sense of the event...

furthermore, why is alexis arquette in it? he has nothing to do with wigstock.. he's just friends with the director.

this is one of the great low-budget "queer cinema" triumphs of the 90s'....

contrary to the above commenter, i do think the details are right... and yes, the cops were homophobic.. they used arcane, outdated laws to close gay bars.. have u read the book "stonewall"? they make it very clear that lots of bars - gay and str8 - were "illegal".. only the gay ones were shut down..

i was very impressed by the right-on details in the production design..

Following is the best independent film to ever come out of England. A truly inspiring masterpiece!
