7.1 / 10

Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price and Sons Shoes is failing. While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear. Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing with both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiance who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

Eurgh racist jew-ISH Hollywood director's are always trying to get black/Israelite males to cross dress for success. Chiwetel, do like Dave Chapelle and stay away from that mess! You are a true Hebrew. Igbo Israelite. - @Friday, January 10, 2014 8:12 PM

I have never even heard of this movie before until recently but I am definitely buying because it looks like a good movie...I still can't imagine Chiwetel Ejiofor in a dress and 5 inch heels...Hilarious!:) One thing is he played the part well from what I saw! - @Tuesday, December 4, 2012 9:32 PM

Me too! Love it for all time. I'd marry Lola if he was available, but probably happily tucked up with some gorgeous creature and their children. xx Downtown Sylva Kitty - @Saturday, November 24, 2012 8:38 PM
