Am I Missing Something?

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I was looking for something different. I found it! Ya I did the groan at "a gay musical". This was a surprise . I'll be frank in my family I am the one talent missed. I do appreciate it when I see it and this is pure talent on display. With cameo's by Christopher Atkins, Lee Meriwether and Shirley Jones, the diva of musicals. It was GAY camp at its best and had a flow that didn't leave you bored. As I said too there was quite a bit of eye candy. Centering around Blake Peyrot and a chorus of "male strippers" he almost got lost in. Almost! If you want something light and fun with a "Happy" conclusion. Here ya go!

Warning: I may give away a little of the plot.A while back I had put Waiting in the Wings in my watch list and then forgot about it. Last evening when I was looking for a movie to watch, I came across it and started watching. What a pleasant surprise! Now I do like musicals and if you don't then you may hate this movie. It is a fresh yet typical love story and all the trials and tribulations leading up to the happy ending. A young boy from the "hicks" goes to NYC to make it in theatre. There are great, new songs, some great voices and the variety of dancing was superb. The characters were played well for the most part and I liked the good "guys" and disliked the "bad" guys which shows how the writers accomplished their goals. One gauge I always use to show my interest in a movie is how often I check how much time is left in the movie. I never checked once. I never lost interest. I seldom give a movie a 10 star rating but this movie deserves it. So if you are into musicals (you know where actors suddenly burst out in song and dance) then you will like Waiting In The Wings.

LOW budget musical comedy drama. The film stars Jeffrey A. Johns as Anthony. He's a GWM musical geek. The other lead is hunky Adam Huss as Tony a male stripper. Through some seriously convoluted plotting Anthony gets hired to join a male strip show and Tony gets in a no-budget musical. Some hilarity ensures.This really isn't that good of a movie. The basic plot is highly unlikely and the low budget shows. The songs were pleasant but unmemorable and the dancing was a little...ummmm...off. Still I must admit I enjoyed watching it. The cast was rearing to go and full of energy. I admit I laughed more than once and it left me feeling good. The acting was good all around and hunky Huss and gorgeous Blake Peyrot were easy on the eyes. It also has Lee Meriwether in a small role and she looks great and is wonderful. Christopher Atkins and Sally Struthers also have cameos. Best of all is Shirley Jones playing herself popping up at the end. She's hysterical and can still sing. This was a big hit at film festivals and a sequel has already been filmed. So a lot of people love it but I can only marginally recommend it.

Want a lot of fun? Love the theater? Also, love the movies? This is one for the books. Pure fun and zaniness that is bound to leave you laughing and singing along. Sit back and allow yourself to be embraced by the story, song and dance. You're sure to come out of the theater chuckling and knowing you had a good time. Waiting in the Wings is all about the fun! Several cameos from names you'll recognize. It's just plain silly and you will feel like you are watching a live stage show as much as anything even though it is a film. It plays up on how crazy things can get when they get mixed up. A hiccup here and hiccup there that leaves you laughing. Waiting in the Wings proves that laughter really is the best medicine!
