Queer Duck - The Movie Review
I had only heard mention of the "Queer Duck" shorts. I should have looked into it immediately given my nickname (Duck) and my sexuality (queer). Seems made for me, eh? Well, I had no idea. I've always been a Jim J Bullock fan and boy is he perfect as the voice of Queer Duck. This is kind of like "The Family Guy" and "Marc Brown's Arthur" had an illicit affair & had a gay kid--er duckling. It is hysterical in places and just plain fun the rest of the time. There is a plot, but it doesn't matter; the oneliners & sight gags are fast and furious. The celebrity jibes are pointedly wicked. The songs might not leave you humming, but they'll make you laugh. DOn't forget to leave time for the extras (including Queer Duck shorts from Showtime and voice talent hamming it up) all are well worth it.
Queer Duck - The Movie Overview
If you thought Queer Duck on Showtime was over-the-top, you won't believe this all new no holds barred comedy & musical extravaganza. Queer Duck and his fabulous friends Openly Gator, Bi-Polar Bear and Oscar Wild Cat will keep you laughing until it hurts in their outrageously zany, full-length feature debut.
Queer Duck - The Movie Specifications
Queer Duck: The Movie is the relentlessly funny, feature-length extension of the animated series Queer Duck, created by frequent The Simpsons scripter Mike Reiss. Sexually scandalous yet sweet, the movie is a cascade of pop-culture stereotypes of gays in America, punctuated by rapid-fire references (as with The Simpsons) to, well, just about everything: classic movies, game shows, Gilbert and Sullivan, Paul Lynde. Hey, there's even a storyline: Queer Duck (voiced by Jim J. Bullock) and his partner of 18 months ("That's a lifetime in gay years"), Harvey Fierstein sound-alike Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator (Kevin Michael Richardson), hit a relationship crisis when the fey fowl is wooed by a brassy Broadway broad. Queer Duck wonders if he'd be happier being straight. While Gator the waiter spills his problems to a compassionate Conan O'Brien (thanks for the cameo), Queer Duck goes on a personal odyssey that ultimately leads to a showdown with a television evangelist at a theme park re-christened Fairyland. One has to see it to believe it. With supporting vocal performances from Mark Hamill, Tim Curry, Estelle Harris, and Maurice LaMarche. --Tom Keogh

Waste of $$ - Elias Makris - Elmhurst, Queens, NY
I wasted my money with this buy. It was my fault I had never seen the show. It is badly made and a horrible movie with a bad story. The only people that should buy this are those whove seen the show and liked it.
Funny gay comedy shorts - do-not-ask-me - VA United States
Once on showtime and showtime.com, these are compiled onto this DVD. They are exactly what you saw on tv and online. Great production quality and bitting gay humor. The jokes can be a bit crude and camp.
