  DVD Review - Kinky Boots
The kinky boots produced by the company are memorably described as "two-and-a-half feet of irresistible, tubular sex." They are also the closest thing to sex you will see in the entire movie.
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.
In spite of the fact that "Kinky Boots" boldly goes where lots of films have gone before, it is still an enjoyable romp with glam and sweetness to spare.

 Zap2it.com - Movie review - Kinky Boots
"Kinky Boots" has much in common with the Cinderella tale: A prince of a man meets a fair maiden, provides her footwear and both live happily ever after.
"Kinky Boots" questions society's ideas of identity, specifically what it means to be a man. Charlie's manliness is tied up in success and responsibility to his family, his fiancee and his factory workers -- but ultimately to himself.
In the end, if "Kinky Boots" were a pair of shoes, it would be solidly constructed pumps with moderate heels and cute accents that will make them a favorite for a couple seasons, but after its novelty has worn off, left with fond memories in the closet.

 Kinky Boots Movie Review at Hollywood Video
(Think: thigh-high, platform boots made out of scarlet or leopard-print PVC with insanely high heels—and a sheath in which to store a riding crop.) And if you don't think things are going to work out well for all involved, well, you need to see more movies.
Miramax's Kinky Boots DVD features several extras, including a commentary track with Jarrold and his cast, as well as some behind-the-scenes docs about the real-life shoe factory that inspired the screenplay.
Nevertheless, it's wrong to say that Kinky Boots isn't entertaining, because it is. It's just disappointing that a movie about kinked-out drag queens never becomes as kinky as it could have been.

But when one of his employees, a pretty woman named Lauren (Sarah-Jane Potts, who might as well be wearing a T-shirt with the words "Requisite Love Interest" stamped across it), accuses him of giving up too easily, Charlie decides to save the factory by creating a shoe for an untapped niche market.
Kinky Boots has its heart in the right place, but its mind is still in grade school.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Kinky Boots"
"Kinky Boots," in which a young man resuscitates his family's dying shoe business by expanding his wares to include flashy thigh-high boots for transvestites, is the latest entry in that increasingly bulging category of cheerful, mildly racy U.K.-made comedies that you can take your gran to without embarrassment.
But there's that word mildly again: "Kinky Boots," directed by Julian Jarrold (in his feature debut) and written by Tim Firth and Geoff Deane, isn't badly made, and it has its share of warmhearted wit.
But the problem with these movies -- others include "Saving Grace" and "Calendar Girls," the latter of which was also cowritten by Firth -- is that the warm fuzzies they impart dissipate into the ether almost immediately.
