    A great movie! Very interesting take on a certain perspectative that not many people would like to think about, but its worthy of acceptance regardless.

    Love it!!

    Fun, real and likable. Not a big movie, but a nice way to spend an hour.

    Came across this movie while searching IMDB. I was looking up the TV show Heroes and saw the list of movies that Adrian Pasdar had been in. I couldn't believe it when I found out that he'd done a movie in drag. And thought it would be interesting to see as I'm used to see him on ...( read more)screen as a high up man (senator in Heroes).
    The movie was pretty good. It had some good humour and Adrian was pretty convincing in his role. I didn't understand the scene at the end much. Overall it's a decent watch. Not sure if most people would like it but I did purely because of knowing Adrian in other program/films and this was a weird change of tone for him.
    7/10

    Not only is this a love story about a middle aged, divorced landlady, and her divorcing, crossdressing power-banker tenant. It's also a comedy about how to hide your alter ego from the world, as you thwart the plans of your evil boss
    For the Trekers there's even a cameo appeara...( read more)nce by one of the interred heroes of Next Generation.
