Fabulous costumes, marvelous location shooting, and a great retro soundtrack in this feel-good film about two queens and a transsexual road-tripping across the Australian Outback to an obscure resort town are unfortunately marred by racist representations of Aborigines and a stunningly misogynistic barroom encounter with a butch woman. Fast-forward through the offensive parts and enjoy the spectacle.
