Now don't get me wrong, she performed fine, sang reasonably well and had 'attitude'. But she's too feminine! The whole point, at least for me, of the Frank N Furter character is that it's obviously a GUY dressed as a woman, ie a TRANSVESTITE! Not transgender, not a woman. A man. Think about it, Brad and Janet aren't going to think hey, that's a guy wearing risqué women's clothing. No, they're going to think it's a tall woman with big boobs wearing risqué clothing. The shock value is reduced. And while we're on the subject of shock value, they totally messed up the Frank entrance scene after Time Warp. Then, later on, the whole dynamic of Frank ending up in bed with both Brad and Janet is substantially altered if Frank is a woman. Just think about it!
I've given it 5/10 mostly because they did a fairly good job with the songs and who can go wrong with those? But, exacerbated by the monumentally annoying commercial breaks, it's really not worth watching this. Buy or rent the original instead, it's much much better.
