Product Information
Following in the tradition of such charming British fare as THE FULL MONTY, WAKING NED DEVINE, and CALENDAR GIRLS, Julian Jarrold's very funny KINKY BOOTS tells the story of a small-town shoe factory fighting for its life. Inspired by a true story, KINKY BOOTS is set in Northamptonshire, England, where Harold Price (Robert Pugh)--just as his father and grandfather did--runs Price & Sons, a which makes traditional men's shoes. Although the proud Harold tries to interest his son in the family business, Charlie (Joel Edgerton) has decided to move to the big city, London, with his fiancée, Nicola (Jemima Rooper), to get as far away from shoemaking as he can. But his father dies of a sudden heart attack, forcing Charlie to at least temporarily take over the shop. Faced with mounting debts, he starts laying off the longtime staff until he meets Lola (Chiwetel Ojiofor), a hulking black drag queen with a major footwear issue. Along with Joel's just-canned employee Lauren (Sarah-Jane Potts), the trio comes up with a radical idea--making strong, sexy boots specifically for transvestites, with outlandish designs, bold colors, and unusual materials that would probably have the previous generations of Prices rolling in their graves. When Lola comes to Northamptonshire to help out, KINKY BOOTS becomes a fish-out-of-water tale as the straitlaced workers have to come to grips with some of their own issues. Both Edgerton and Potts are endearing in their roles, with good support from Nick Frost and Kellie Bright, but KINKY BOOTS belongs to Ojiofor (AMISTAD, DIRTY PRETTY THINGS, INSIDE MAN), who is simply fabulous as Lola, strutting his stuff both in the factory and in a London club where he performs such songs as "Whatever Lola Wants" and "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."Product Identifiers

True Story and Hillarious
The setting, England, a shoe factory. How to survive a failing business, make thigh high boots for transvestites and drag queens. If the first sentence catches your interest, good for you. You are in for an interesting and funny ride. This movie is based on a true life story, and there is a love story weaved into it. I hope you take the time to maybe buy this movie. You will be in for laughs and great time!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Great if you like cross-dressing comedy plus straight love stories.
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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Good Old Classic
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.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Classics trump trash remakes
This movie is a classic no matter how you look at it. It's a perfect example of why the USA should never be allowed to touch any comedy the British make. (See the awful musical with no characters, just tropes).Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
