Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Overall, it's breezy, forgettable fluff, but 'kinky'? Obviously, the term is relative.

You'll giggle and laugh and never look at those things on your feet the same way again.

rotten:
It's a predictable and preachy stab at a comedy with heart, and its subversive silliness is eclipsed by an overwrought humanity.

It's a feel-good movie that happens to dress in drag.
