The movie is in the naughty-but-nice British tradition in which characters walk on the wild side but never seem to do anything else there.Read the full review
A humanist parable about how to be a good person, live a good life and make gallons of lemonade when life suddenly hands you lemons, it's predictably delightful and delightfully predictable.Read the full review
Don't worry. It just sounds like another bad Sharon Stone movie. Kinky Boots trips on its contrived plot, but this blend of trash and sass is a comfy fit.Read the full review
Not since ''Mannequin on the Move" has a flamboyant black man brought so much fabulousness to stiff white heterosexuals.Read the full review

Really, the only thing kinky about this movie is its title.Read the full review
