A failing shoe factory that's struggling to maintain its footing following the death of its founder finds the inspiration needed to stay in business from the most unlikely of sources in veteran British director Julian Jarrold's warmhearted tale of fancy footwear and changing times. Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton) just can't seem to keep the factory afloat on his own, and with the livelihood of his entire small town hanging in the balance, he needs to come up with something truly groundbreaking. Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a sassy female impersonator with a flair for style and a great mind for design. Though on paper their inventive scheme to save the factory may sound too outrageous to be true, stranger things have happened in the world of business, and if it doesn't break them, it may just transform them into the richest footwear manufacturers in all of England.

Seller's Description:
Joel Edgerton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sarah Jane Potts, Jemima Rooper, Linda Bassett. Run time: 106 mins. Aspect ratio: 2.40: 1. Originally released: 2006. Language: English. Factory Sealed Brand New DVD Miramax/EchoBridge When you are a tall strapping man who dresses like a woman for a living, finding a pair of sexy but durable shoes can be worth your weight in gold. Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor)--a drag queen also known as Simon--finds her shoe salvation in straight-laced Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton), who has inherited his father's shoe factory. Unable to pay the bills making traditional loafers and wingtips, Charlie agrees to make Lola a pair of kinky boots that turn out to be so fabulous the pair end up going into business together. They face a few obstacles, such as the bawdy union workers who aren't too keen on taking orders from a drag queen who's more of a man than they are. Then there's Charlie's posh real estate girlfriend, who wants to convert the factory into pricey condos. While the movie doesn't provide any real surprises (or even any scenes as suggestive as its title might suggest), the English film (which is loosely based on a true story) is highly entertaining that will delight fans of both comedy and shoes. --Jae-Ha Kim

For straight, gay, or yet to decide
I have to say this film is for every adult, even if they feel uncomfortable about men in drag. This is not strictly a 'LGBT' film, though it is as much centered on a transvestite as it is on the straight boy. This is the first film I've ever seen that has given such a simple and true definition of the challenge between the sexes, e.g. what wo... men look for in straight men but do not find. It is funny, poignant, and has great music, worth getting the CD of the movie's music as well. AND based on a true story. AND has a happy ending. What more could you ask for?
