Leave It on the Floor



More than what I expected
I have seen this movie/musical twice on LOGO. I must admit at first viewing I was not expecting it to be a musical. However, I watched it and thought it was just OK. When I was able to catch it a second time, my perspective changed. There was a lot of talent and a few stand outs in this performance piece. There was some comic one liners, spotlight performances, and a few surprises like a performance by Ledisi @ the funeral scene. The contrast/comparison likens this to the documentary of Paris is Burning but this is so much more. It's still "theatre" but more contemporary with relevant topics beyond the ballroom scene. I mos def plan to support by purchasing a copy.

"Sexy, Sexy, Sexy, all righ now. Sexy,sexy,sexy"
I love this movie. My fav character is Princess and I believe Justin is going to call. If Justin doesn't call then I think Princess should walk as a sex siren.

Pleasantly Surprised!
I found this movie at my local Gay Film Festival and had seen the trailer many times. I was blown away when I arrived at the theater and it was by FAR the best movie I saw the entire festival. I laughed, cried and had a blast.
This movie so well illustrates Ballroom culture in a tangible way that was a pleasure from start to finish!
Also, the music and dance numbers are absolutely amazing! I wish there were a soundtrack for this :(
