Queer Duck: The Movie is the relentlessly funny, feature-length extension of the animated series Queer Duck, created by frequent The Simpsons scripter Mike Reiss. Sexually scandalous yet sweet, the movie is a cascade of pop-culture stereotypes of gays in America, punctuated by rapid-fire references (as with The Simpsons) to, well, just about everything: classic movies, game shows, Gilbert and Sullivan, Paul Lynde. Hey, there's even a storyline: Queer Duck (voiced by Jim J. Bullock) and his partner of 18 months ("That's a lifetime in gay years"), Harvey Fierstein sound-alike Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator (Kevin Michael Richardson), hit a relationship crisis when the fey fowl is wooed by a brassy Broadway broad. Queer Duck wonders if he'd be happier being straight. While Gator the waiter spills his problems to a compassionate Conan O'Brien (thanks for the cameo), Queer Duck goes on a personal odyssey that ultimately leads to a showdown with a television evangelist at a theme park re-christened Fairyland. One has to see it to believe it. With supporting vocal performances from Mark Hamill, Tim Curry, Estelle Harris, and Maurice LaMarche. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Funny gay comedy shorts
Once on showtime and showtime.com, these are compiled onto this DVD. They are exactly what you saw on tv and online. Great production quality and bitting gay humor. The jokes can be a bit crude and camp.

Somebody Shoot This Duck, Please
If I didn't know better, I'd surmise that "Queer Duck" - both the movie and the web cartoons - was created by anti-gay groups looking to further slander the homosexual community: every possible gay stereotype, from Madonna-worshipping to mass illicit sex and drug use, is an essential factor in the formation of the characters and scenarios that make up the production, and very little of it is actually funny.

Adam Seymour "Queer Duck" Duckstein is your typical walking stereotype of "fabulous!"-spouting gayness, living with his boyfriend Stephen Arlo "Openly" Gator; however, when Queer Duck begins to question his sexuality, he hooks up with an ex-Broadway vulture lady to embark on a "personal odyssey" that ends with a confrontation with a TV evangelist and a homophobic theme park.

While this summary is comprehensible enough, it's truly amazing how much annoying buffoonery and brainless stupidity that director Xeth Feinberg and writer Mike Reiss managed to stuff into 72 minutes of the worst animation this side of South Park. Simply put, "QD" is the gay equivalent of Family Guy: loud, obnoxious, and pandering to folks who don't care if a joke is offensive as long as they think it's funny...and Queer Duck is nothing if not offensive: from the constant reinforcement that homosexuals can be pigeonholed as prissy girly men, leather-loving daddies, or sex-obsessed perverts, to its incessant off-color and racial quips (i.e.: a character called "HIV Possum" dies, and QD makes a comment attributing it to his Haitian boyfriend), the show and movie are less about gay pride or unity than about defining homosexuality as whoever can have the most sex with strangers and scream "I'm gay!" the loudest.

On the technical side, the garbage continues to flow.
The voice acting is appropriately over-the-top, but the celebrity impersonations are mediocre, to say the least. Also, the filmmakers didn't feel at all compelled to up the quality of animation from their web-based features, which is a cross between the levels of The Simpsons and South Park. And the less said about the musical numbers, the better (the "panda song" will make you want to throw a brick through your TV).

Essentially, "Queer Duck: The Movie" is intended for the fans of the series, since it is more or less just a long episode. Devotees of the cartoon will love it, but I'd be hard-pressed to find anything in the film that would make for positive advertising to different audiences. If you're a self-respecting homosexual, this film is most likely to make you feel ashamed of yourself (or at least the minds that dreamed it up), and will simply give anti-gay zealots a big, sopping example of why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed in Hollywood, church, Broadway, hospitals, or theme parks.

Will Quack you up!
I had only heard mention of the "Queer Duck" shorts. I should have looked into it immediately given my nickname (Duck) and my sexuality (queer). Seems made for me, eh? Well, I had no idea. I've always been a Jim J Bullock fan and boy is he perfect as the voice of Queer Duck. This is kind of like "The Family Guy" and "Marc Brown's Arthur" had an illicit affair & had a gay kid--er duckling. It is hysterical in places and just plain fun the rest of the time. There is a plot, but it doesn't matter; the oneliners & sight gags are fast and furious. The celebrity jibes are pointedly wicked. The songs might not leave you humming, but they'll make you laugh. DOn't forget to leave time for the extras (including Queer Duck shorts from Showtime and voice talent hamming it up) all are well worth it.
