SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

tuc71836 Just like a Woman is a comedy drama, and I like this film very much. The storyline is very interesting and unique. It is my first time to watch transvestite movie, and some of the scenes touches me. I love when Gerald tells Monica that he actually enjoy wearing girls make up and clothes. The relationship between them also impressed me a lot. It shows the tolerance of their love. The concept in this film might reflect part of the society nowadays since we can see many transvestites' artists and people in the TV show. This film proves that the transvestite people are not weird, and Gerald actually reveals his great ability in his career. It is interesting to see that Gerald seems happier when he is wearing woman's costume and make up. However, he is not bisexual or homosexual. The message in the film clear reach to the audience that there might be many transvestite people around us. Since they dress normal outfit in the day time, people cannot judge by their appearance to tell if they are transvestite. I admire how Monica encourages Gerald to go out with his women outfit, and it illustrates that there love is deep and different from other couple. Overall, I recommend that everyone should watch this film; Adrian Pasdar shows his best acting in the character.

tuc32475 Just Like a Woman follows the story of a transvestite man's life with both the elements of drama and light comedy. The film follows his struggles and process of accepting himself his relationship with society by being a transvestite.Gerald, by society's standard, seems to live a perfect life, a successful career and a family. But he lives a double life and by night turns into Geraldine, a transvestite who is only known by his friends with in the community. He struggles with this double life, and is frightened by the consequences if he ever lives an overlap between his two identities. After meeting Monica, gradually he becomes comfortable with his identity, mostly by the help of finding an accepting partner. Although there have been many films that portray human sexuality, there are less films that tells the story of particularly transvestites. For an average person to understand the motifs and psychology behind a transvestite person, this film succeeds in introducing this particular identity through its easy to watch genre. The broad definition of "transvestite" is simply explained; a man that is attracted to the opposite sex but has the urge or will to dress-up, or become a woman. . Gerald and Geraldine are both capable of living quit a successful life and are not mentally impaired but only has an disadvantage because of society's perception on his identity.It does not quiet explore the deeper reasoning behind it, but the film works in a sense that analyzing may not be always a necessity when one's sexuality is portrayed; it's just the way they are. Which is the essential goal of accepting one's sexuality or identity, is to accept them who they are.

rachdeveraux Since Educating Rita, Julie Walters has been one of my role models, and her performance in this as a woman who helps the man she loves get in synch with his feminine side is magnificent. I would never have believed her character in the hands of a lesser actress, but Walters pulls it off with gusto and panache. Adrian Pasdar gives his best performance to-date in the male lead.

richlieu Somewhat too long and going over the top towards the end, this comedy is an utterly delightful, never condescending or ridiculing look into the problems of a "power man", who likes to wear women´s clothes at nite.Julie Walters is lovely as always, but Adrian Pasdar is utterly credible and steals the film. He (she)is absolutely gorgeous in high heels and silk stockings.
