Synopsis:
New York substitute science teacher/stand-up comic Richard Martinez – who isn’t even remotely effective at either – finally lands a full-time position in Texas through the Teaching Ambassador Program, but his stint falls short when it’s discovered he’s gay. With only one friendly local behind him, Richard returns to the school as sassy Bianca Del Rio, an outspoken teacher who’ll put the unruly students and hypocritical school staff in their proper places, instantly becoming the best teacher he’s ever been and the school has ever seen.
Quick Thoughts:
Let’s get the hard bits out of the way: “Hurricane Bianca” is a low-budget film with a script that’s full of Bianca’s classic one-liners woven amid a story that’s so far-fetched that you have to suspend reality to enjoy. But if you give into the full ordeal, then it’s quite a fun queer film to watch! Roy Haylock comes to life both as himself and as the iconic Bianca – and that itself is worth giving this film a watch. Just be able to look past this film’s flaws and don’t expect perfection. All that aside, I still throw this on whenever I need a good laught so “Hurricane Bianca” is still worth checking out!
