Remember Lou Reed's classic "Walk on the Wild Side"? Ving Rhames' portrayal of a gay female impersonator reminded me of that song.
It was fun to have a movie take us into the life of a character who is so different than the characters usually played by the male lead.
The opening scenes of the funeral service for Ving's lover/domestic partner are tragic comic. I laughed out loud but got a lump in my throat at the same time.
Alfre Woodard is great as a hopelessly drug addicted mother. I felt anger, disgust, and sympathy for her character.
