Julien C. (jaimelesmaths) from BLOOMINGTON, IL Reviewed on 5/18/2009...
Low budget doesn't always mean low quality. Unfortunately, for Fag Hag, it does. Lighting and sound are generally poor. Plot sucked and made no sense. The opening was promising, but Drop Dead Gorgeous was much better and funnier on the pageant theme. Highlights: Wil Wheaton's cameo, the overall acting of the two female leads (save a pointless scene about a twitching eye), and the two musical numbers. Lowlights: Nonsensical plot, poor dialogue, and an ending that was just pitiful. Do not recommend. 1/5

Not for everybody

"This film isn't for everybody, but a select audience will find it hysterical. Production values are poor, but in this case, that is part of its charm. I tend to dislike alot of these independent films, but this is one I'll have to watch again. The dialogue is soooo funny, and the songs are outrageous. It makes me think a little of "Rocky Horror Picture Show", in that the story is outrageous and silly, and meant to be just that. The characters are such losers, but you can't help but love them. Again, this isn't for everyone, but if you liked "Rocky Horror", you might just get a kick out of this."
Low-budget genius

"This movie is absolute genius on a student film budget. The writing is amazing and the performances are horribly spot on. I watched it once by myself and then when my boyfriend got home, I watched it all over again, laughing even harder the second time. If you don't like absurdist comedies, you will not like it. If you watch it, give it at least 15 minutes before you decide you don't like it. Once the rhythm of the movie gets going, it is unstoppable. If you think the idea of an HIV-positive, motivational rapper named T-Cell is funny, then you might like this movie."

"Okay so its not like the movie was totally horrible. It just lacked that extra umph that it needed to gain my attention. Its really bad that Will Wheaton is the first actor listed in the movie considering that he appeared in one scene only with limited lines. I dont care if he was friends with the writer/director, he should have played the main male role no matter what. It did have its moments though when I was just on the floor laughing about the lines that they gave these people. The quality is a little "home movie" but if your extremely bored and dont mind wasting some time in your life to see this then get the stale popcorn and enjoy."

"I bought this movie with my friend the night we got Harry Potter. We love campy movies, and it was inexpensive. This is probably the weirdest movie I have ever seen. To start, I should mention I haven't been able to finish it yet. I can only handle it in small doses before I go out of my mind, but its not actually a bad movie. Upon reflection it is hilarious- but it can be a little hard to sit through. If you have the money to spare and are up for a weirdddd movie, I would recommend it, if only because I doubt there is one other movie out there like it...
