good/bad?

Wood's actually not too bad as an actor, he's sensitive, good-looking and might have had a decent acting career if he'd had more training. And he's also very appealing as Glenda - as much as you may laugh at this movie, Glenda isn't the funny part of it, she has a kind of dignity throughout. Wood's writing however is very confusing, sometimes painfully over-obvious with lots of repetititon and narration, and then suddenly very vague and symbolic. The bits edited in the middle with the scantily clad women are obviously from some other film so he can't be blamed for those, he was probably forced to include them and they have nothing to do with the story of the film. It would be better if they were edited out, although they're quite funny!

The Wood films I've seen have a good-natured batty charm and are oddly poignant at the same time. He can be considered an auteur because he kept coming back to subjects such as the passing of time, of death, of being a misfit and of alienation. And he seemingly loves going on about "modern life" and its consequences.

I'd say it's more great/awful. Watch it for the comedy...
