The Plug Lady (2004)


Ever wonder what a drag queen version of "The Room" would be like? I'll assume not, and for good reason, but that's not too bad a description for this. The worst stand-up comedy act ever (Tony Clifton included) is created by a drag queen (later transgender) who goes from leaving "comic" phone messages to working in a comedy club to performing to becoming a star and getting involved with a man (named Skunk) with the worst gaydar in history - leading to a "oh come on!" Crying Game scene that ends with violence. She then wins him back by prostitution; don't try to reason that out, because it's as unlikely as the rest of the film. She then has a fight with her mother, which reveals that she had killed her father, which leads to her mother committing suicide the same way her husband died. The dialogue seems badly dubbed, characters and plot lines just come and go and it's nauseatingly repetitious. Available on DVD and Netflix, it's best seen for free on YouTube.
