Our Score - 2/10 (F)     Rotten Tomatoes - 28%     IMDB - 5.6/10 Chosen By: Steve Rushlau The directors provide some striking imagery, but that's the only positive thing about this movie.

Julie Newmar' (1995) might seem like a gimmick; cast three manly men (Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo) and have them act outrageous as a trio of drag queens on a road trip.
