Read the full review →A zany, recommended disaster spoof that delivers gags, queer in-jokes, slapstick and heart in a fun ensemble led by drag performers, even if not every joke lands perfectly.
Read the full review →The film legitimately made the critic laugh and delivered a good time with its freewheeling absurdity and nonstop jokes, succeeding as a gay Airplane!-style vehicle for stupid humor and RuPaul's best lines.

Read the full review →The critic views it as RuPaul’s Airplane!, a drag-queen disaster comedy with a high gag rate that feels like a Drag Race acting challenge but lacks a strong straight-man foil to anchor the absurdity.

Read the full review →The critic calls the film thin, recycled slop with little nutritional value or daring comedy despite its drag-queen cast and moving setting. They note some celebratory queer energy and fun bloopers but criticize underdeveloped characters, obvious jokes, and questionable CGI.
Read the full review →The critic views the film as a spirited but hit-and-miss homage to Airplane! and Naked Gun featuring a largely drag-queen cast. It offers fan service that will please RuPaul’s Drag Race enthusiasts despite a somewhat dated premise.
Read the full review →The critic finds the ramshackle disaster parody unconvincing even as intentional silly comedy. The strong cast from Drag Race cannot overcome the lack of truly funny jokes.
