Review of Cherry Pop

Cherry Pop (2017)
1/10
Fierce Queens That Don't Get To Shine
19 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Seriously, this movie features some of the best Drag Race queens in herstory but doesn't do a damn thing with them.

How can a move featuring Bob The Drag Queen and Detox not be good?

We get almost and a half of endless explanations of each character in freeze frame format with endless boring monologues by the "Cherry" of their background and motivations. Show us, don't tell us!

Then the drag performances are over-dubbed by the same person singing each song. It was funny the first song (barely) then a complete bore by the 2nd song.

I feel this movie was written for the un-charismatic lead "Cherry" to give him a springboard for his career or maybe he's partnered to the writer and they wanted to give him a starring role.

Then he literally almost gay bashes the queens with his awesome straightness just because the drag queens roasted the hell out of him. What an embarrassment because you know Detox would had beat his ass in real life.

Then we get to see the Cherry come out on stage and look completely awkward. Remember how Gene Hackman looked in drag in The Birdcage? This is worse.
