Tras la repentina muerte de su padre, Charlie Price tiene que hacerse cargo del negocio familiar situado en Northampton: una fábrica de zapatos convencionales, la "Price and Sons". Charlie advierte enseguida que el negocio no marcha bien y que sin nuevos pedidos irán a la bancarrota. Además, sus empleados son bastante escépticos respecto a su capacidad como jefe. Así las cosas, Charlie decide ir a Londres en busca de soluciones; allí va a parar, por casualidad, a un cabaret regentado por una tal Lola, en el que los travestis usan unas peculiares botas altas de plataforma. Charlie se da cuenta entonces de que tiene ante sí un auténtico filón por explotar en el mercado del calzado. (Buena Vista International Spain)

I like the subject matter, and I like how bizarre it is - by which I mean the plot - because the legacy of a shoe company that only a queer queen can save is just brilliantly daft, but it has its charm. Acting-wise, especially thanks to the performance of Chiwetel Ejiofor, who can't sing very well, the film is worth watching. You just mustn't be prejudiced like some of the characters.

The reviews of this movie here clearly hint at the qualities of this film. Well, you can be the judge of that. Who would like to watch a guy who ends up owning a shoe factory and who gets help saving the factory from a black transvestite, who by the way is portrayed excellently by Chiwetel Ejiofor. The English sometimes have the gift for absurdity in stories and you get a story like that here. If you do devide to give this movie a chance, I think you will end up like Nick Frost, who was the reason I watched this movie in the first place. If you want to see how, do watch this film. I don’t think it will be a waste of your time and on top of that you will experience a story that is definitely based on fact.
