Stupid but Hard to Stop Watching
This movie has one joke - is the title character, Pat (played by SNL's Julia Sweeney) a man, a woman, or something else? Based on the seemingly neutral gender Pat character of Saturday Night Live, this movie takes the viewer on a maddening game of visual "keep away." Just when you think you will find out if Pat is a man or a woman, somethng happens that keeps you guessing, and when he/she meets an equally gender-indiscernible partner, it's the same joke squared. I enjoyed the movie when I saw it in theaters in '95, and my teen son thought it was hilarious when I shared it with him in 2006. It is a frivolous romp, SNL style, no deep thinking required. If you are willing to ride the single-joke theme to it's end, then I would definitely recommend it. Will you ever finally learn the true gender of the socially inept yet likeable Pat? I'll never tell. Get the movie and find out.
