Reviews for Different for Girls
Different for Girls staggers around, keeping its lovers apart as in any conventional romantic comedy.
Toplined by handsome Brit thesp Rupert Graves, offbeat serio comedy concerns the evolving friendhsip and eventual love between a rambunctious macho and a quiet insecure transsexual.
What makes this wonderfully deranged film fly is Rupert (“Maurice”; “Where Angels Fear to Tread”) Graves.
Bland and conventional, despite the sex-change angle, Different for Girls is ultimately not different enough.
The film engages the audience on a gut level so that we care about Kim and Prentice.
I don't mean to be a stick-in-the-mud, but apart from school days and friendly shared memories, these two truly have nothing in common.
One of the reasons why Different for Girls works is because of the caliber of acting.
