'The Divine Sister' review: Gender bending can be twisted fun

Playwright-actor Charles Busch never met a film genre he couldn't spoof or women's clothing he couldn't flatter. He carved a career out doing that in such works as "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and "Die, Mommie, Die!"

For his latest show, he's ransacked nun movies — from "The Trouble With Angels" to "Doubt" — to fashion "The Divine Sister." Devoted Busch disciples and novices will laugh themselves silly at this always irreverent comedy that finds him rocking a habit and working his signature facial expressions and vocal growls as the Mother Superior in a 1960s Pittsburgh convent.
