Kinky Boots (DVD) Reviews

If you think of successful uplifting British film from recent years you might think 'The Full Monty', 'Billy Elliot' or 'Calendar Girls', but 'Kinky Boots'? Maybe it's just because of the title (doesn't sound very British does it?), but it didn't really hit the big time like these, but after watching it, then starting all over and watching it ...  Read the complete review

The film looks nice and the basic plot is OK. It's based on a true story, and I'm sure then vigorously brutalized to have maximum impact on the viewers at the cinema. Non TV's (transvestites) and people who don't know any TV's are going to leave the cinema thinking all TV's are like Lola and taking Lola's definition of TV (we're nothing like ...  Read the complete review

It is not an out and out comedy, you won't be roaring with laughter but there are some amusing and touching moments. The film is actually loosely based on a real Northampton shoe factory. In the film, Price's Shoemakers have been ...  Read the complete review

I could not help noticing on watching ‘Kinky Boots’ that a lot of the new crop of British and Irish actors have played drag queens, or at the very least metrosexual men. I do not know if it is reflects on me, but they are amongst the actors that I look forward to seeing in films most! The likes of Cillian Murphy (Breakfast on Pluto), Ewan ...  Read the complete review
