Plot: Patrick Swayze plays Vida Boheme, a classy and long-reigning drag queen. With his understudy Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), Vida wins a New York drag stage contest and an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood. But when Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) cries at having lost the contest, soft-hearted Vida cashes in the airline tickets so the three of them can take a car out West. The film becomes a strange sort of buddy road movie, with the three cross-dressers traveling across the American heartland in a shiny yellow Cadillac. First they tangle with Sheriff Dollard (Chris Penn). He stops them for a minor traffic violation, puts the moves on Vida, and Vida knocks him out, so they flee. Later, they are stranded by car problems in a small town in Nebraska. Renting a room in a hotel, they put some life into the town and its annual strawberry festival. They provide a mousy local woman, Carol Ann (Stockard Channing), with new role models of assertiveness. They also insist on chivalrous treatment from the local good old boys and give lessons on courting to a teenage girl. This film was released on the heels of the more outrageous Australian film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which featured Terence Stamp as a drag queen. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

One the funniest movies I have ever seen....

Added 11/7/2009

To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie NewmarBarnone, one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The now late Patrick Swayze a.k.a Vita Bohem who recently succumbed to Pancreatic Cancer, was brilliant in this, as were Weslie Snipes a.k.a Noxema Jackson and John Leguizamo a.k.a Chi Chi Rodriguez in their cross country quest for queendom. I like the fact that all the aforementioned actors are known for their masculinity and pull off androgyny quite convincingly. My order arrived as described. Five Star DVD with 5 Star service from both Amazon and MovieMArs.
