Some time ago, a shoe factory in Northampton ran into financial difficulty and returned from the brink with a range of
fetish footwear, rebranding themselves "Kinky Boots" in the process. This movie tells the story, with the usual degree of
dramatic licence (i.e. changing the facts). The British movie thrives on subjects that are considered "a bit naughty",
but that's not enough. The Full Monty, Calendar Girls et al were great, but not simply because of their subject matter - they
were very warm and sharp movies. Kinky Boots tries to replicate this winning formula, but is far less successful.
Although mildly amusing and with a community feel, we don't care very much about what happens, thanks in part to some very
heavy-handed time-filling plot developments and a nastily implausible denouement.
