Kinky Boots (2006)

This celebrated comedy that inspired the award-winning Broadway musical is a refreshing, feel-good film that proves the best way to fit in is to stand out. For generations, the Price family has made very sensible, very conservative shoes for men. But to save the business from imminent bankruptcy, young Charlie Price turns to an unlikely new creative consultant: a fabulous drag queen whose creative style and wild designs are a breath of fresh air in the stuffy old factory. Featuring a Golden Globe nominated performance by Chiwetel Ejiofor (THE LION KING), and co-starring Joel Edgerton (RED SPARROW) and Nick Frost (SHAWN OF THE DEAD)
