“Bam Bam and Celeste” is a feel good movie loaded with lots of good camp with a great cast. The supporting cast is fantastic and just to watch the many cameos make the movie a special treat. Margaret Cho plays both Celeste and her mother and does a great job. Alan Cumming s absolutely wonderful and Elaine Hendrix is so very evil that you have to love to hate her—she is brilliant.
“Bam Bam and Celeste” moves quickly and the movie is completely enjoyable even with the poor direction. I could not help but laugh all the way through the film. . What makes this movie so special is that the movie dared to go both after and with the stereotypes and turn them upside down and inside out.
The movie is a road trip from somewhere which is really nowhere to New York City in a car that is so gay it cannot be described. Along with the wonderful comedy is Margaret Cho’s unique humor replete with her brashness and brutal honesty. Racial slurs are all over the place which makes us aware as to how widespread prejudice is in our world today and even though it was sometimes painful to hear occasionally, knowing that it was meant to highlight the way we live, definitely hit home. Sometimes they slurs were so direct that I could not help but wince but this is a problem that we can no longer ignore and it just heightened awareness of a shameful part of American culture. Beneath the comedy there is a strong message that cries out to us to be caring and accepting.
This is a movie that demands a wide audience because it has so much to say to us and so many needs to hear. What a great way to teach a lesson—through comedy. Even while you laugh, you realize that your laughter is based upon a shameful practice but if you realize it, then you know that things must change. Hopefully, the movie will get to the audience that needs it so badly.

Don't know what they were thinking when they released this dog! Furthermore, I don't know why TLA thinks the DVD is worth $20.99?

This is in my top 5 of worst movies ever! I feel bad for the actors that had to work with these two. If you see this movie coming near you, RUN.

I was unfortunately very disappointed with this movie, I love her standup work and expected a funny crazy movie, instead it was pretty boring and predictable. Undoubtedly the worst gay camp movie I have ever seen, and that says a lot.
