Movie Info

Two misfits find love and support in each other's company, in this show-business comedy with a twist. One of them, Robin Turner (Craig Russell), is a male hairdresser and a gifted female impersonator, who tries out his act in local gay nightclubs. His roommate is Liza Connors (Hollis McLaren), an old high-school friend who is now a mumblingly strange pregnant woman, recently released from a mental hospital where she was being treated for schizophrenia. She is determined never to return to the hospital again, and he wants to be a show-business success with his impressions. When Robin loses his job, the two determine to try their luck in New York.

Critic Reviews for Outrageous

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (2)

Russell's act is intrinsically entertaining enough, and Miss McLaren's despair is convincing enough, that we forgive the lack of a subtler touch in the writing and direction.

Top Critic
A low-budget Canadian sleeper, Outrageous is a vastly entertaining and poignnat serio-coemdy about drag and gay life which became a cult movie among gay and straight viewers.
