The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert (DVD) Reviews

I have always been a fan of the road movie genre, there is something about a road movie that creates a desire to replicate such an event, maybe it is the whole freedom of the road bit or the sense of adventure that you feel when you do not know what is around the next corner, whatever it is I do know that The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the ...  Read the complete review

I had heard a lot about The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert so I was quite interested to see what it was all about. I wasn't sure if a film about three drag queens would be quite my cup of tea but I was quite happy to give it a go. Having just watched it on DVD I feel a bit ambiguous about how I felt about it but I will try and explain ...  Read the complete review

After reading a wonderful review about this film I just walked straight into my local Tesco ad bought the DVD, I knew exactly where it was as I had picked it up several times but was undecided over whether to watch it or not. The story is about 2 drag queens, Tick and Adam and their transsexual friend Bernadette. They get a gig in ...  Read the complete review

This is a film only review. Three drag queens from Sydney, Felicia, Mitzi and Bernadette, are invited to perform a caberet in Alice Springs. Felicia manages to get hold of a bus (nicknamed Priscilla) that will take them on their journey of several days, but unfortunately, it breaks down on a regular basis, and it isn't always easy to ...  Read the complete review

One of the best films to come out of Australia, this camp and crazy adventure brings together 3 drag queens on a cross country trip to the middle of nowhere with high jinks along the way. The three main leads; Hugo Weaving, Terrence Stamp and Guy Pearce all play up to a stereo type well. Stand out performances come when each is meant to face their ...  Read the complete review

Priscilla Queen of the Desert - Best Costume Oscar Winning Movie - stars the amazing Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce and Bill Hunter. Another Abba music based movie has been well received for the amazing performances and also telling the story of 3 drag artists who are on the road for the trip of a lifetime. Stephan Elliott ...  Read the complete review

Many years ago when this film was launched in the UK I was lucky enough to see it three times! I went along myself, got taken to it by a friend and then another friend asked me to go along another time. I remember distinctly a trailer shot of a certain Terence Stamp trying to flog his organic potato crisps, but this may have been at the start or ...  Read the complete review

OH what a great movie! I first heard of it on the drew carry show where it was being compared to the rocky horror ppicture show. Also when I bought the RHPS it showed up on my recomendation page. being a huge fan of that I figured I should look into it. Wow I was amazed! the dance and music was great! catchy songs and a hillarius story. I cant ...  Read the complete review

Great for all Abba fans, 3 trannies travelling from Sydney to Alice Springs on a converted bus with lots of Abba revival and humour, good storyline too. Great performances by Guy Pearce and gang, they make very good looking females and costumes are excellent . Also watch out for the scenery, anyone having been to Oz and ...  Read the complete review

This movie was average. I did nothing for me. Everything was average. The actors were average. The acting was average. The story line was average. The jokes were average. The setting was average. The opening was average. The middle was average. The ending was average. I even bet that the sandwiches on the set that the cast and crew had for lunch ...  Read the complete review

Priscilla Queen of the Desert is one of my all time favourite DVD's. It arrived through the post from the states. The case is a bright pink camp item, never mind the characters in the film. Terrence Stamp plays a fantastic role as Bernadette ( a transexual). A lot of people copared this film to Too Wong Foo, but I think Priscilla had more ...  Read the complete review

I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I expected to. The story of three drag queens (one of them a transsexual) travelling in a bus across the desert of Australia did not fill me with much excitement to begin with, but this was hilarious. Guy Pearce is great, as always, and I can honestly say that I never expected to see Terence Stamp like this. ...  Read the complete review

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is an absolutely brilliant film. Not only is it hilarious but it also manages to deal with the issues of transvestites and transexuality in a touching way. The film shows both people's reactions to transvestites, as well as the hurt and suffering that is felt by them as a result of these reactions. Patrick Swayze ...  Read the complete review

Exactly the sort of film Hollywood can't make - see the Swazye in drag fiasco. This intelligently made film from Australia stars Terence Stamp as an aging transexual, Guy Pearce (Neighbours) and Hugo Weaving as two Sydney drag queens. The basic plot - Weaving aka Mitzi has to arrange a four week cabaret booking for a club in Alice ...  Read the complete review

A remark in advance: English is not my mother tongue so please excuse any mistakes or odd expressions that might slip in! Thanks! I love this film! It's one of the best I've ever seen. Without revealing too much of the content: the story is the following: two transvestites and one transsexual are on their way through the ...  Read the complete review

This film caused a range of obscure emotions to appear inside my mind. At first, I started to feel rather embarassed for the 3 main Actors (Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving & Guy Pearce) as they Camped around the screen. Then I forced myself to forget General Zod from Superman 2 and Mike from Neighbours. This was only ruining the film for me. ...  Read the complete review

The concept of the film is brilliant in itself. Surreal and completely unbelievable, but brilliant. Two transvestites and a transsexual decide to drive a bus across the outback desert from Sydney to Alice Springs in order to do a cabaret show in a hotel run by the former wife of the transsexual. Much hilarity ensues on route, there are ...  Read the complete review

This is one of those films that is all about camping and I don’t mean in tents. Felicia (Guy Pearce), Mitzi, (Hugo Weaving) and Bernadette (Terence Stamp) are three of Sydney’s drag queens who are invited to play a month long gig in the middle of Australia at Alice Springs. So logically how do you get there, buy a Bus and call it ...  Read the complete review

Priscilla is witty and outragious while maintaining a provacative story line. The three main characters give wonderful performances, and true to their abilities, have all gone on to star in other blockbuster roles. The film holds many parallels to the American film; "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar". Many friends of ...  Read the complete review

As a fan of Australian films, I went to the cinema when this film first came out. It is one of the best films I have seen - definitely in my top 10 - and was so good that I went back to see it again...and again...and again! I saw it a total of over 10 times in the cinema and bought it as soon as it was available on video. It is the story of ...  Read the complete review
