A shoe that makes or breaks the factory, a red one at that. Charlie's father passes, leaving a factory full of shoes. Drag queen shoes bright red ones will bust the transvestite shoe accessories world. English men business shoes will soon turn morality in red tones. Lola (drag queen) and Charlie clash, Price Shoes will take that walkway in Milan and rescues the factory from failure. Cha Cha boot takes the factory to a new name Kinky Boots! This film is not fiction as some would think, it was a real life experience. This film was in real life a face story of the real factory in Northampshire called Kinky Boots. The fetish dominatrix industry would take the boot to a new era in men's shoe fashion. 107 minutes long in color PG-13, comedy/drama, widescreen format.

Interesting that this is based, in part, on true events. Female impersonators in this story are a scream (think “Mrs Doubtfire”, “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, “Tootsie”, “Victor/Victoria”). Northern England accents are a bit hard to understand and there is no closed-captioning on the DVD. Great if you like cross-dressing comedy plus straight love stories.

Good old classic film about drag queens saving the day for a straight company. The story is believable and well written. The acting and production values are very good. The costuming is excellent. All in all, a fun, entertaining film.

This movie covers Father Son relationships. The differences between the generations and how it all comes full circle.It also deals with people relationships when opposites are paid attention too.The gist of the movie in synopsis is. Son doesn't want to go into Dad's shoe making business. It's out dated. Father dies and son is forced to take over and wants to sell the business until he finds Dad has only been keeping it open so his loyal workers won't starve.A situation the employees know nothing about. When faced with terminating all of them the son sees what dad was up against. He had to come up with a plan that sort of dropped in his lap, literally.While drinking heavily one night he saw a damsel in distress and went to her rescue. He was knocked out and awoke the next day in her apartment. "SHE" turned out to be a beautiful black transvestite.The rest of the movie deals with the woes of trannies trying to fit into ladys fancy boots.Voila, the shoe factory starts making "Kinky Boots" and there is a happy ending.It gave me a good feeling about how #1 we are all connected and #2 what we do and how we do it really makes a difference.The feeling it left me with reminded me of "Crash" although that movie was about the bad things we do are all connected. I highly recomend both of these movies.Read full review
