Lisístrata (2002)
8/10
Outrageously camp Spanish comedy
13 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is a quite outrageous Spanish comedy set in ancient Greece.

The women of Athens, led by stunning Maribel Verdu in the title role, barricade themselves in the Acropolis with the intention of blackmailing their men into stopping the war by starving them of sex.

Their plan backfires when, after several days of the men walking round with raging erections, the gay underground suggest that the men might find other ways to satisfy their desires.

The men try it, and they like it!

This is more outrageously camp than laugh out loud funny, but it's a lot more enjoyable than the other reviewers on IMDb would have you believe, and quite a rare beast in being a film with a gay message that sticks to it's guns, even if the instigators are portrayed as a bunch of screaming queens.
