Three drag queens travel cross-country until their car breaks down, leaving them stranded in a small town.

MAN OF CINEMA
This classic is hilarious, delightful and heartwarming all at the same time.
The movie ahead of its time and it also did the road trip movie better than most modern cinema. And I can't imagine the absolute courage it took for three huge 90s leading men to play roles of drag queens. Swayze, Snipes, and Leguizamo didn't play it just for a cheap joke, they played Vida, Noxeema, and Chi-Chi with pure grace, elegance, heart, respect and it's all really empowering. Even though it's a comedy the film avoids the caricatured takes, cheap jokes, stereotypes and comes across as an important film for the drag and queer community. This film is all about the importance of self-acceptance , identity, courage, being independent and the social recognition of self-perception in a seemingly unimaginable place like our society which is misogynistic and toxic.
