Simon (Grant Hodges) is kind of openly gay - but that means mostly that
he has told his best friend and colleague at the café he works at Jae
(Erika Ishii) and would never actually deny his sexuality if asked. But
what good does that do him if he can't even chat up Calvin (Jeffrey
Bowyer-Chapman), a regular at the café he has long had a crush on. So for
his 21st birthday, Jae decides to take Simon out to a drag club, just so
he gets rid of at least some of his reservations. Of course, before this
happens, Simon saves a pink wig from three evil cats, and as a thank you
the wig, probably not from this world, attacnes itself to his head to
eventually transform him into ... but let's not get awhead of ourselves
... Meanwhile, performers disappear from the drag circuit left and
right, and it's all the doing of Cyna Bilical (Terren Wooten Clarke), a
drag performer herself who has found out that the tears of drag queens are
the base of an anti aging serum. And of course, she's at the very drag
club Jae is taking Simon the very night they are there, doing her evil
routine. Meanwhile, at the club, Simon is really loosening up, the way Jae
expected him to - and more, since thanks to the wig, he suddenly turns
into the perfect drag performer. And for that, the prime target for Dyna
Bolical ... Now Maxxie LaWow: Drag Super-shero is
certainly not a film for everybody, if drag queens, camp, sexualized
humour and/or animation aren't your thing, then feel free to give this one
a pass. But if you're up for some over-the-top superheroics combined
with silliness with gay undercurrents, you'll probably enjoy this for its
no-holds-barred approach paired with its rainbow-of-colours appearance and
easy narrative flow for the very intended craziness it is.
