Goldstar Review: Bam Bam & Celeste
Every fags favorite hag has made an amazing movie with an even more amazing soundtrack! For a little under two hours you can forget how fucked up America is. You can eat ice cream, block out your personal self pity, and laugh your ass off.
The ensemble cast is huge. It seems like Margret Cho got all her lesbian, gay, and otherwise stereo types together to make a wonderfully campy film that will go down in history with films like “But I’m a Cheerleader”
In Bam Bam & Celeste, Celeste (Margaret Cho) and Bam Bam (Bruce Daniels) are best friends still stuck in the white bread Midwest hometown where they grew up. Celeste lives at home with her out of touch Mommy (also played by Cho) and has retained her outcast status since high school. She and Bam Bam are free-spirited rejects in a town where looking or dressing differently is perpetually uncool.
With lines like “High Ho Dildo!” you can’t go wrong! Get a group of friends together, pop some rainbow colored pop corn and get ready for a visually stunning gay version of the American road trip movie.
3 out of 4 Goldstars
