Rating:  - Different for Girls is good for everyone
This is a film from 1996 but don't let that put you off. It is standing the test of time. It is about Kim, a post operative trans-sexual and Paul, his/her mate from school. Karl/Kim was bullied at school for being gay, in reality he was a she in a male body. Paul protected him. We see that in flashback. Then Paul sees Kim/Karl and the penny drops for Paul...they know each other, but obviously something is different. Paul liked Karl at school, 'liked' him although didn't act on it I think. ...

Rating: - Kudos!
I loved this movie when I first saw it in the theatre, and I've continued to love it over the years in its DVD format. My ONLY complaint about it, in fact, is that it does not have subtitles! Even though it is in English, it's in ENGLISH-English, and as an American I frequently find it hard to understand films coming from the British Isles. I miss much of the dialogue and that's a shame, because in such an enjoyable movie you want to catch every word. But buy it anyway.
Rating: - COOL
Steven Mackintosh does a wonderful job and manages to make Kim very attractive and believable. It's perfectly understandable to me why Rupert Graves' character falls for her. I also like the pop music in this film.

Obviously not a movie made with any research on the reality of transsexuals integrating in ... Read More
Rating: - shallow and one-dimensional
I can't believe that others who reviewed this watched the same film as I did.
I found it to shallow and one-dimensional. With the exception of Kim the characters are barely sketched outlines and even she is hardly painted in any detail.
The 'plot' is rather banal, and this is definitely not an action movie.
If this is the UK's answer to Boys Don't Cry, then the UK has a long way to go. One can hardly call this a challenging view. A boring romance story is about ... Read More
