Everybody's talking about those Kinky Boots

I might be setting myself up for disappointment here, but I'm starting to really look forward to seeing Kinky Boots, a comedy movie based on the real-life story of a failing Northampton shoe factory that changed it's fortunes by launching a range of fetish footwear for men.

There's a good interview with the film's star in today's Guardian, and some of the reviews I'm read have been quite positive. A slight worry is it's written by the same guy who wrote "Calendar Girls" and has been described as "heartwarming" in places, but hopefully it's not been too watered down to give it mass-market appeal.

We shall see.

Jane I'm hoping it is good too, but I have a horrible feeling that while it will be enjoyable it will be "heart warming" and "touching" and "You will laugh, You will cry, You will learn the true meaning of friendship" sort of film

Or could find middle England rushing out to get 5 inch heels in purple faux snakeskin in droves. Wanna bet?

Karin Yeh, there's been a bit too many of those "funniest british film since the Full Monty" films over the years.

Still I suppose having a camp tranny stereotype in a film is better than having a psychotic tranny stereotype - e.g. Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Dressed to Kill (sorry to spoil the ending but it's Michael Caine in a Nurse uniform!)

Miss K Give me psycho tranny bunny boiler over heartwarming comedy dragmummy any day.

I hate this film already.
