The movie opens with a scene of Pat working at a mobile library where they meet Chris, played by Dave Foley. Chris is immediately attracted to Pat, but cannot figure out whether Pat is a man or a woman. As the movie progresses, Chris and his friend, Kyle (played by Charles Rocket) become fixated on figuring out Pat's gender.

Throughout the film, Pat encounters various people who try to determine their gender. In one scene, a group of businessmen try to guess whether Pat is a man or a woman through a series of questions, while in another, a doctor runs a series of tests to try and figure it out.

As Pat's gender remains ambiguous, the movie delves into the absurdity of gender norms and how they shape our perceptions of people. The film was made before the current discussions around gender were mainstream, so it is interesting to see how the movie tackles the subject with humor and sensitivity.

The movie is full of hilarious scenes, such as when Pat goes on a game show and the host is forced to refer to Pat as "it" throughout the episode. The movie also pokes fun at gender roles and stereotypes, with Pat being unable to keep up the facade of being male or female in certain situations.

Julia Sweeney's performance as Pat is outstanding. She plays the character with a mix of innocence and uncertainty. The character of Pat is not meant to be a caricature or a punchline, but rather someone who is struggling to be themselves in a world that is constantly trying to label them.

David Foley and Charles Rocket provide much of the comedic relief in the film, with Foley's character being drawn to Pat's unique personality, while Rocket's character is more obsessed with figuring out Pat's gender.

Overall, It's Pat is an endearing and hilarious film that challenges our preconceived notions about gender.
