Kick up your heels and get ready for a laugh-out-loud good time when a sassy, brassy drag queen helps the owner of a small-town shoe factory whip up a hot footwear line for the cross-dressing crowd!
Charlie (Edgerton) just inherited his father’s factory where the most ordinary, boring shoes have been made for years in the conservative town of Northampton. Unfortunately, Charlie also has inherited the factory’s outstanding debt and is forced to be the bad guy who must lay off all of the dedicated employees. When the charming Lauren (Potts) suggests “change the product” and not give up, Charlie conceives the notion that Lola (a highly entertaining Ejiofor) who grew up as Simon, could be a perfect blend of both client and entrepreneur if she and all of her drag queen friends would strut around and perform wearing the proposed “kinky boot collection”. With that in mind, the entire staff is forced to now create some of the most outrageous and fabulous footwear, soon to be displayed on the feet of the most entertaining drag queens throughout Europe. In the tradition of The Full Monty and Saving Grace, the formula behind Jarrold’s lighthearted comedy is a bit trite, yet there is enough good material here to make Charlie and his kinky shoe factory worth checking out. Especially entertaining are the musical sequences where the boots come to life on the vivacious performers who help emulate the feeling that you get when you go see a really great drag show. While you may not laugh out loud, you’ll certainly smile from cheek to cheek and find Kinky Boots has something for everyone whether you’re “a boy, a girl or yet to decide”.
-- Chris LombardiPhiladelphia Film Festival review: Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton) inherits his father’s beloved shoe factory in conservative and dull Northampton, England. This is more of a curse than a blessing for Charlie, however: his girlfriend Melanie wants to leave Northampton for hip and exciting London. And the shoe factory, it turns out, is floundering financially – retail stores would currently rather stock cheap import footwear than Price’s more expensive, high-quality wares. Life looks grim for the shoe factory until Charlie visits London and encounters Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a no-nonsense drag queen desperate to find a pair of high heels that can support his weight. Inspiration follows, and so does Lola, who accompanies Charlie to Northampton to supervise the construction of the sexiest steel-heeled female footwear that man has ever worn. However, there are a few bumps on the road to the shoe line’s unveiling during Milan fashion week: Lola comes to heads with a bigoted, macho factory worker (Shaun of the Dead’s Nick Frost), while Charlie and Melanie endure serious challenges to their relationship. A delightful comedy inspired by a real-life story, Kinky Boots is anchored by a winning turn from rising star Ejiofor (Dirty Pretty Things), while director Julian Jarrold perfectly blends comedy, drama, humanity and a handful of colorful song-and-dance drag numbers. These boots were definitely made for walking…out of the theater with a big smile.
