I'm a huge fan of Drag Race, and couldn't wait to see this movie. Unfortunately, there were a lot of lines that were really disrespectful to women. The queens spend a scene talking about how disgusting a vagina is, sing a song making light of abortion (I'm pro-choice, but it is usually a seriously difficult situation), and just generally bash women. I'm all for men dressing in drag, especially to express femininity since our culture tells them to suppress that, but don't make fun of women, you still get to walk around the world as a man. Borrowing women's culture of dresses, makeup, shoes, hair, mannerism, etc., is fine, great even, but to be so disrespectful is not a good look.

Whose brilliant idea was it to make a movie about drag but make it about a straight guy doing drag for the first time (and effortlessly beating his face) while the actual drag queens are reduced to ham-fisted stereotypes? I could see glimmers of talent and the plot line is well constructed. But the final product is the pits.
Terribly unfunny and filled with extremely sad, misogynistic jokes. Poorly written script with the worst of LGBTQ+ stereotypes. Really sad to see talented queens related to a project like this. Who let the white WeHo gays out?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: if you are going to make a film about drag performance... include some phenomenal drag performances. It's not that hard to do. Yet this film manages to completely ignore showing them while at the same time trying to be an inspirational film about drag. I'd give it -10 if I could. It fails just on it's basic premise.

I've never written a review before on a movie and I've seen a lot (good and bad). I cannot stress how awful this movie really was. After 5 minutes, I couldn't turn off the train wreck. Like my last relationship, I hung around hoping it would get better; it didn't. I need to re-evaluate my life's choices after this second major mistake. The only redemption this movie has are the bloopers in the credits. That's only because the acting wasn't forced but actually genuine.

This movie was so bad and way beyond cheesy! Don't waste your time. Bad storyline. Didn't take any acting skills.

The premise is kinda intriguing, and Bob The Drag Queen is incredible but there's nothing else to say. This movie is just boring.There are not risks at stake. There are not characters to root for. Nothing interesting happen.
This movie doesn't offer anything creative or good. It's not entertaining, so if you consider this movie and you think that maybe could be good. Well, it's not.

Hulu recommended me this movie and I only decided to watch it because Bob was in the center of the picture. What a waste. I was excited to see Detox, Bob, Patrice, and Mayhem (and they were great) but they can't make up for the terrible writing and lack of anything interesting in this movie. The cherry on top? The terrible, terrible acting from Lars Verge. Why do directors feel the need to cast mediocre male actors in lead roles when there are talented drag queens right THERE in front of you?
I was so happy I found a movie to watch on Saturday night.
Being gay & loving RuPaul and drag Queens this is absolutely waste of time.
There's only few scenes where i LOL the rest is bad taste bitching and the songs performed are kinda SICK. Latrice Royal acting is so bad.
Thumbs up for Bob the Drag Queen.

I love all these queens from watching them on Drag Race. That said, this movie did nothing to help the image of the LGBTQ community. They all just yelled at each other to the point it that was uncomfortable, picked on people, and acted super b*itchy. Every joke was awful - I was expecting that little "shade sound" from Drag Race when a queen's joke fails, and the camera just shows Ru's emotionless face, then that clanking shade sound plays. That's how I felt throughout this entire movie. Where's Bianca when you need her?

I'm not much for leaving reviews but seeing all the hate on here for this movie, I had to say something.
Just like drag, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea. This movie is not Oscar material and it's not trying to be.
But just like drag, it is campy, quirky, irreverent, button pushing, over the top, bawdy, sometimes cringey, and fun. The actors were having a great time and it shows. The ridiculous juxtapositions are smart. The dialog is snappy. The dive bar drag was fun for the eyes.
Do be warned though: This is not the ultra sanitised, family friendly version of drag you might be familiar with from Rupaul's Drag Race. But if you're looking for an amusingly farcical but smart movie, this could definitely fit the bill.

This movie had me laughing out loud. The characters were brilliant and the lines were snarky and snappy. I found this little gem by accident on Tubi and I am glad that I did.
The music was another plus as well. This is a fun movie.
