These boots are made for walking
Kinky Boots has a terrific performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor but is let down by some clunky writing and plot contrivances that really took me out of the film.

Charles Price (Joel Edgerton) was born into the footwear business. Their men’s shoes were built to last but my word they look ugly.

When Charles father dies, he inherits a business that is at risk of going bust. On a night out in London he comes across drag queen Lola (Ejiofor) who is being accosted by some men and fixes her broken heel. The incident gives Charles the idea of designing women’s shoes for men.

The workforce in the Northampton factory are initially not keen on the idea or their new shoe designer Lola.

The film although based on a true incident is not really campy enough or much of a romantic comedy. Australian Edgerton does a serviceable regional accent but his character is a bit bland. There is an air of predictability about the whole thing. The finale where Lola and Charles have an argument just before their unveiling of their kinky boots in Milan just did not work for me.Read More
