What Kinky Boots has going for it is a terrific performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor as Lola, who serves as the emotional heart of the film.

You'll giggle and laugh and never look at those things on your feet the same way again.

Ejiofor's latest, Kinky Boots, may not enshrine itself in the halls of movie greatness, but it proves that this versatile British actor can do nearly anything.
February 22, 2007
It's cheerful, predictable and far from edgy, but buoyed by a likable cast and a standout performance by the versatile Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Brit comedy is more warm and quirky than kinky.

Overall, it's breezy, forgettable fluff, but 'kinky'? Obviously, the term is relative.
May 19, 2006
It's a predictable and preachy stab at a comedy with heart, and its subversive silliness is eclipsed by an overwrought humanity.
April 19, 2009
The film falls short of its initially obvious dramatic goals due to the shallow depths that screenwriters Geoff Deane and Tim Firth take their characters.
December 04, 2006
A tepid crowd-pleasing Brit comedy/drama that offers nothing fresh.

Oh, do come in, love -- welcome to the Twee Brit Comedy Factory.

Kinky Boots stands out for 3 reasons: 1. It's inspired by a true story. 2. It's about what it really means to be a man AND the power of fabulousness. 3. It has the formidable Chiwetel Ejiofor in drag, singing!

It's a feel-good movie that happens to dress in drag.
