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.

A tepid crowd-pleasing Brit comedy/drama that offers nothing fresh.

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!

Brit comedy is more warm and quirky than kinky.
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.

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

Overall, it's breezy, forgettable fluff, but 'kinky'? Obviously, the term is relative.

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

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.

It's a predictable and preachy stab at a comedy with heart, and its subversive silliness is eclipsed by an overwrought humanity.

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