Basically, before I truly became aware of "Priscilla", I had only thought of its three central actors as just regular, boring guys who were fine enough at acting, but really weren't anything special.
It's a beautiful, feel-good comedy that I recommend to anyone with a catty sense of humour (and a VERY open mind).
