Tin Foil Soldier

I have watched a bunch of gay themed movies lately, but I haven’t really gotten around to writing about them.

Kevin and I watched Kinky Boots (2005) the other day and we both liked it.

While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles’ ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men’s fetish footwear. Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing both the prejudice of the staff, Lola’s discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles’ greedy fiancée who cannot see the greater good in Charles’ dream.

It was a great movie that kept us watching.  Sometimes gay themed movies have really bad acting, but this one was just perfect and believable.  It has a 6.9/10 on IMDB but I think for a movie with a GLBT theme it really kicks ass.  get it? because its about boots?!
