Well, I'm glad that he did the part in drag only because it's an over the top, perhaps somewhat stereotypical character. If a black woman had played the part, it would probably be typecasting (putting a black woman in such a role because "that's how they are").

But since a man in drag did it, perhaps people will see that the character isn't real, but that it's a comedy PERFORMANCE that's meant to be over the top and stereotypical.

Thanks, Roxie, I'm looking forward to this movie now myself. I'll wait to buy it, because I don't take my baby to the movie. LOL

I always wait for it to hit blockbuster, because I KNOW my son isn't sitting down for 2 hours.
