GENRE
Comedy, Based on a True Story

Review: A delightful, quirky British comedy about a family shoe business that is having difficulty staying in the red. Manufacturing “sturdy shoes” for decades, the market has changed and they can't give them away. All will be lost unless new owner, Charlie Price (Joe Edgerton), can come up with a new business plan, and fast. Help comes from a very unlikely source in the form of an unconventional cabaret entertainer (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

The story’s premise is taken from reality, a failing English footwear factory in Northamptonshire, which managed to shift gears and save many jobs for the townsfolk.

Director Julian Jarrold does a bang-up job with this feel good, but kinky, tale.
