Julie Walters is good value, as always, but this comedy drama about transvestism is pretty worthless otherwise. Who is it aimed at? Closet cross-dressers? The prurient? Ed Wood fanatics? Hard to tell, as it lurches from frilly farce to black-lace banality with sickly sentiment piled as high as the heels, come the “Nobody's perfect” finale. Adrian Pasdar looks as uncomfortable playing Gerald/Geraldine as you will be watching this curious frock opera that's as emotionally fake as his falsies. Tootsie it ain't. Nor even Glen or Glenda for that matter.

Spot the soap star...
An incredibly young Sonia from Eastenders, minus her trumpet, is in this. Film itself is harmless.

Waste of time
This was such a slow, turgid film that we lasted 40 minutes then went to watch some paint dry which was much more rewarding. It had a low budget and amature ... more

"...The flow of life looks blissfully normal despite the guy in the dress." -- Rating: B

"...Resolutely buoyant....It offers splendid performances from its stars..."
-
Tedious comedy of minimal interest, even to cross-dressers.
