Movie Info
Been looking all your life for a sizzling mash-up of Paris Is Burning, Rent and Dreamgirls? Leave It On the Floor is that and more, a supersized musical featuring a family of fierce voguing performers coming together to snatch a trophy in the big ballroom competition. When our hero Brad is kicked out of his house for being gay, he finds himself drawn into a raucous ballroom event. Looking for a warm place to sleep-and someone to sleep with?-Brad meets the ragtag members of the struggling House

Practically defines the words 'niche appeal', but should take the very specific group it's actually aimed at by storm.
Gays, transvestites and transsexuals, mostly black, strut their stuff in an uninhibited fashion as they compete on catwalks and dancefloors before panels of judges.
The songs (including a saucy ode to Justin Timberlake) are fresh and witty.
A bewildering exploitation flick that will probably end up with a dedicated cult following.
It is cheap, cheerful and so keen-to-please you want to adopt it as if it were an orphaned dog. It rolls out its tongue like a red carpet.
What the film lacks in subtlety and finesse it makes up with sparky characters and meaty songs.
Clearly not aimed at a mass audience, who, even if they're open to gay issues, may be turned off by on-the-cheap production values and self-conscious "acting" by principals.
The standout film for me at both the (2011) L.A. Film Festival and Outfest. Spectacular and joyous.
