The "two cultures" effect that we're seeing with the responses to Sizzle continues: Now the famed industry rag Varietyloves the film that has many scientists scratching their heads (or worse). From the Variety reviewer:

Does the film perpetrate stereotypes? Variety:
Silpa and Clark push the flaming-queen stereotype right to the edge without sinking the comedy.
