Rent Kinky Boots (2005)

British comedy - Kinky Boots review by JD

This is characteristically British humour. The only outright joke is when the elderly landlady guesses the transvestite is a man. Understated and quirky. A bit too much pathos for me. I like only enough to set up the humour. There is a transvestite being beaten up, a funeral, a son as a bitter disappointment and a couple breaking up. The dance at the end does not make up for 60 minutes of depression. The last quarter is very formulaic and unbelievable. The rest is true and interesting.

Feel good brit flick - Kinky Boots review by ian wyborn

I picked this film purely because I remembered it featuring on Film 2007.

I'm glad I watched it as it's supposedly based on a true story and appears to have quite a few good actors in it (3 or 4 from castleford to lark rise).

Without giving the game away it's a comedy featuring transvestites and a shoe factory.

Watched it with my 14 year old son who also liked it
