Judi Davis is wonderful in this film as she is in all of her movies. I saw this on ShowTime and it had 3 stars, but I would have watched it just to see Judi Davis. I have never seen Judi Davis in a comedy before, but to see this rather intense woman react when she is thrown into a mix of crazy people is wonderful.
I WAS turned off by the description in the movie guide: a woman searches for her crossdressing husband -- yet another transvestite. But this script throws a curve in the form of Marcia Gay Harden whom I had never seen in a film before. I won't tell you just WHO this distressed wife in search of a renegade husband really is, but Harden is hysterical.
To analyze this farce would destroy the the magical journey it takes you on. All the actors are just great and all are playing against type.
I have seen about 20 movies in the past month, and this one stands in a class of its own.
I give it a ten for making me laugh, and a ten for a crazy cast of characters.
