(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1   2/5 "undercooked to an amateurish degree"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin "It may be very Prince Charming, but it's a story that's definitively old. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Ejiofor's unbridled confidence sells the character and makes the movie."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...never quite as tedious as one might've expected..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair D "A tepid crowd-pleasing Brit comedy/drama that offers nothing fresh."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1.5/4 "Somewhere, Jeffrey Lyons is rolling on the floor laughing."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C+ "I can't think of any reason for you to see it, but I can't think of any reason not to, either."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "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."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. C "A prefabricated crowd-pleaser with a distinctly by-the-numbers feel, distinguished only by Ejiofor's canny transvestite turn."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek C "Far too insubstantial to make any interesting use of its social agenda, and the easy answers it finds about prejudice and bigotry strain credibility."   Modern Fabulousity   Gabriel Shanks 6/10 "Kinky Boots is so loveable and its characters so charming, it may have you forgetting how much of it is firmly rooted in stereotype and cliché."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio ""This movie rises above the quicksand of formula (with) a boffo performance from the terrific Chiwetel Ejiofor." "   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards 4/5 "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!"   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B "From the producers of Calendar Girls comes another cutesy comedy where the Brits enjoy chuckling at their own cheeky naughtiness, but Kinky Boots boasts a terrific performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Ejiofor's polished, energetic performance -- including several song-and-dance numbers -- enlivens what's basically comfort food in movie form, but sometimes comfort food is exactly what the doctor ordered."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Might sweet-natured and pleasantly naughty British comedy be in the offing? You bet."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson C+ "Kinky Boots is pretty routine fare with its we-must-save-the-company debut feature by helmer Julian Jarrold."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "Even in light comedy, Ejiofor is a commanding presence. As queen or king, he rules."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 9/10 "A cheeky, vampy, naughty British comedy."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1
