Kinky Boots



Kinky Boots (PG-13) 2005


Directed by Julian Jarrold


Starring:  Joel Edgerton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sarah-Jane Potts, Nick Frost, Linda Bassett, Jemima Rooper, Robert Pugh, Ewan Hooper, Stephen Marcus and Mona Hammond


Here We Go:  A men's shoe factory in the UK isn't making enough to stay afloat, which leads the owner to make a daring decision: scrap traditional men's shoes and start making footwear for drag queens.  It was a cute movie and it was fun to watch some very straight laced characters, and those who aren't all too accepting of the new direction of the factory, slowly change their views.  The movie was less about drag and more about the people involved in the process of change in their lives, their work and their mindsets.  Overall, it was an entertaining movie that had a little bit of everything (including a few stage shows).


Bottom Line:  Watch it!
