Synopsis: The cold wind blows hard in December on the tiny little island of Manhatten. So cold that Don Lon needs a new fur coat but he is in for a rude awakening. When he sends his escort out to get him one at the Tommy Fingerdinger store, they find that all the fur coats are gone. Tommy Fingerdinger is left tied up in the back of the store. Who could have done this? Who could have committed such a heinous (giggle) act? None other than Testy Treat herself! Testy is sitting in her manhatten loft with her girlfriend Molly Polly Pocket when she hears the news that Don Lon is cold. She laughs so hard that her cat's run from the building. The next morning she sends Molly Polly Pocket back to her normal job as assistant to Mayor Finster, a good uptight citizen. Don Lon is losing his mind from the cold in his perfectly heated apartment so he sends Valeur, the best hitwoman/man in the business after Testy Treat. What he doesn't know though is that Valeur is also working for Testy. Valeur is simply pocketing all the money and getting ready to move to Hawaii. When Don Lon finds out, he sends his escrot, Billy Bones, after Valeur and they get into a bitch-slapping fight in the middle of toyrs-r-us. Who can possibly win this mob war?

What the press would say:

"The Fairy Godfather" is the most hilarious movie I have seen this year. Nathan Lane is so perfect as the Don of the Gay Mafia. His rival, played to juicy perfection by Sarah Bernhardt, is so funny in her scenes with Valeur that they had my side splitting many times. Ellen DeGenerous plays the straight laced mayor of New York who is single and lives with 13 cats. When Don Lon enters her apartment and sees the cats he stops and looks at his companion, the ecsort Billy Bones, and says "Do you think she's componsating for something?" This is John Waters as his best. He tosses joke after joke at you and you never stop laughing. The is the best cast he has assembled in his career, all well known names. But he brought on controversial gay porn star Brent Corrigan to play the escort. Corrigan actually pulls off a pretty convincing performance as the money hungry male escort. Sara Gilbert's Molly Polly pocket is probably the funniest character in the film because she's the only one that isn't intentionally funny. She has no jokes but the faces she makes when she is with both Testy Treat and Mayor Finster had the audience cracking up. This is deffinately the funniest movie of the year.
