... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

... View MoreHaving sat in silence I looked this unknown film up on this site.I found a very unusual situation.Despite the fact that more people,including me had given this tripe a 1 than a 10.Furthermore there are 3 pages of reviews,all glowing and many giving it 10.I thought that is unfair for those amongst us who gave it 1 to be totally unrepresented.So here is a review on behalf of those who had the good sense to give it 1.I doubt that it is coincidence that the male characters female name is Geraldine.It is an misconceived tribute to the greatest cross dressing film ever.Billy Wilder must be turning in his grave.I have no objections to a comedy about transvestites.I object to a bad comedy about transvestites.
... View MoreJust Like A Woman is a 1992 British film by Christopher Monger. I like the film because it takes on a certain view which not many people would like to think about. A person who likes to cross-dress refers transvestite. Transvestite is a exist problem even in this modern society. However, public still treats these kinds of people differently and terribly. For example, since Gerald has transvestite, he encounters many problems inside the film. Firstly, his wife discovered female clothes spread over their flat, thus, divorced with him and threw him out of their home without knowing his habit. Secondly, Gerald got fired from company after met his boss on the street during shopping. Thirdly, when Gerald told Monica about his habit, Monica laughed loudly which hurt Gerald's pride. I think the fans of the genre would be satisfied since it includes many different sexuality problems in this film. Also it is difficult to tell and predict the plot and ending because you never know what other problems that Gerald would meet later in the film. Moreover, I like its lighting style and camera angle. When Gerald became to be Geraldine and showed to Monica the first time, the lighting style creates a mysterious mood. Camera shoots different parts of Geraldine's body image, but does not show her face immediately until the last. Besides, since everyone should be treated equally, I think the goal and motivation of the film is that they want to show the society that how these people have being discriminated. I remember that I used to have a neighbor who has a transvestite. After people noticed about his habit, some of the neighbors started to move out since they would feel uncomfortable living in the same building with him. This film tries to tell its audience that people with transvestite seems to be treated unfairly, however, transvestite is just a habit that some people have. For me, the movie does not surprise me since I saw this kind of people before. On the contrary, it persuades me to accept these people. I like the film not only because its technical quality, but also the storyline is really easy to understand. I feel the movie might be appealing for people who have transvestite or homosexual people.
... View MoreThis is a very rare example of a movie about transvestitism (of heterosexuals). The film treats the taboo theme so that even a general audience not knowing of transvestitism at all will strongly sympathize with its main character. Adrian Pasdar is very believable as Gerald/Geraldine and shall not be forgot for this brillant acting. The directing of Christopher Monger is very sensitively, treating such a difficult issue quite excellently, packed into a good story. Not a big movie, neither an "art" film, but a little, lovely motion picture!
... View MoreAdrian Pasdar is excellent is this film. He makes a fascinating woman.
