I saw this movie not thinking I would like it because of its homoerotic content. But I have to say that even being a perfectly regular straight guy who is not into cross dressing movies, this is still a great movie. It is a funny movie. It is also a movie that deals with issues of what it means to be masculine and what it means to be different. Hedwig, seems to be at first glance to be a gay character, but it as the story reveals, it is not about being gay or straight it, it is about love and accepting who one is. Hedwig asks himself who is is perfect partner and what they would look like. The movie examines the issue of finding one's own person, not necessarily being gay or being straight. Hedwig at the end defines himself as a person and comes to grips with that realization. That is what the movie is about. Plus it benefits from really good music. A definite must see.
