About this movie

Billy Bloom (Alex Lawther, The Imitation Game) is one-of-a-kind: a fabulous, glitter-bedecked, gender-bending teenager whose razor-sharp wit is matched only his by his outrageous, anything-goes fashion sense. When his glamorous mother (Bette Midler) is forced to send him to live with his straight-laced father (Larry Pine), Billy finds himself a diva-out-of-water at his new ultra-conservative high school. Undaunted by the bullies who don't understand him, the fearless Billy sets out to make a big statement in his own inimitable way: challenging the school's reigning mean girl (Abigail Breslin) for the title of homecoming queen. This proudly offbeat comedy is an irresistible ode to outsiders and nonconformists of all stripes. With Laverne Cox.

Ratings and reviews

This Movie A So Moving. I Love It, Adore It. If This Movie Doesn't Give It A 5 Star Is That People Are Haters But This Movie Is So Awesome And So Inspirational. Never Judge A Person How They Are Or Who They Are. 😜😜😜😜

I'm a huge fan James Saint James, the book itself is amazing and the movie adaption is nothing short of brilliant. With a character many can relate to in this world, this movie inspires to let your freak flag fly.

This coming of age story features a stylish and sweet young man whose life is suddenly uprooted. It was an original and colorful portrayal!
