'Kinky Boots' - Movie Review

A rather conventional shoe factory in Northampton is about to go under (as many have before it) unless they find a new market for their shoes. You might even guess from the name of the movie where that market might lie. Led by the reluctant inheritor of the factory, Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton), who is assisted by drag queen Lola (Ejiofor) and would-be unemployed shoe-maker Lauren (Sarah-Jane Potts), they struggle to prepare the new line for a major shoe show.

It's funny and charming and I enjoyed it, but it was all a little too easy. Ejiofor is better than the others in the toughest role.
