About This Movie

So, 'What a Drag' is this quirky comedy directed by Gabriel Aghion that dives into the complexities of identity and societal expectations. The pacing has a nice rhythm—sometimes it feels a bit erratic, but that kind of fits the story's chaos. The central character's struggle to fit into a straight persona for work leads to some pretty funny yet poignant situations. The performances are what really stand out, especially how the actors navigate both the humor and the underlying tension. The drag elements add a unique flair, blending real-life struggles with comedic moments. It doesn’t overdo the practical effects; it relies more on character-driven humor, which makes it distinctive in that era of mid-'90s comedies.
