louis_jordan This movie is just a fun watch. It's not trying to shock you every 2 minutes and it isn't full of profanity. This movie doesn't get the credit for being as entertaining as it is. Great watch and funny, uplifting and basically enjoyable.

damittaja The plot was quite predictable, as other reviews have also stated, but I still found the movie extremely entertaining. The humor was what charmed me. It was not the mean kind of humor where you are supposed to laugh because people are acting like idiots or caught in overly embarrassing situations. This movie contained humor that was warm and happy and presented so that it won't make fun of any single group of people. My opinion is that this kind of humor is hard to come up with but gives the most satisfactory laughs.The acting was OK, as was the musical score and whatnot other technical bits there are in a movie, nothing to complain in those. I also liked the sets such as the shoe factory that is in a central part in the movie and its plot. The length of the movie was OK also - not too long nor too short. One could say that the movie tries to make people more understanding towards each other and point out how there is intolerance in the world but this message isn't brought to your face so that it would prevent you from having a good time.Women will probably get the most out of this movie (shoes, dozens of shoes!) but I can't see any reason for men to enjoy watching this also (as I did).

Antoine J. Bachmann "Kinky Boots" is a fun feel good movie with a bit of a twist.The acting is solid to very solid, with characters who have depth and credibility.And the story is a true story, so what is more to ask?*** WARNING: SPOILERS ***I really enjoyed this (true) story of the heir to a once prestigious shoe factory, who doesn't feel he connects with the business (although he grew with it and knows it inside out), and then finds out that business is in deep trouble.And then instead of walking away and selling the walls at a good price, he decides, because of the memory of his father and grandfather, but more importantly because of all the workers who need a job, that he will do his best to save the business. But how?By chance he ends up attempting to protect a drag queen from attackers on the street, gets beaten up, comes to his senses backstage from the show, and later sees a broken heel on one of the boots - and has the idea to make boots for drag queens! He completely fails at first, but then thanks to the help of the lead drag queen Lola.And then things move on, and we're giving a nice but not at all boring lesson of "money isn't everything", and about respecting differences, all differences.And then there's a happy end, of course.

amyp13 I think it's great that my hometown, Northampton, is being put on the map in this film and maybe stage production. The town has such a great history and such great character, but we rarely get noticed. That's why I'm so excited about this film being based on where I live! Northampton's awesome, and the film really shows off some of the culture in the shots in the town centre, too e.g. All Saints Church, the Shoe factory, the Market, the Guildhall etc. We have also had quite a few celebrities that originate from Northampton, but it's not known they do originate from here e.g. Alan Carr. Northampton is basically a great place to live and to base this film on!!
