Just Like a Woman

Just like a woman is a light comedy about a man who lives a secret life as a cross dresser. When it was made the movie was given an "r" rating but besides the taboo nature of the subject of "transvestites" there is nothing in the movie that makes it deserve such a rating. If I was to rate it I would at most, give it a PG-13 rating in America because of the sexual references. Even so, the subject matter is not really dealt with in a serious or overly dramatic way. Since the movie deals with a main character who is a Transvestite one would think that the writers of the movie would try and spend a little more time creating a more specific portrayal. However due to the fact that there are many different types of transvestites and the fact that the story changes and the main character also changes, it can become very confusing to the audience to try and understand what a transvestite is. The story itself is rather simple and the outcome is a little too easy to predict. Overall I thought the film was good. It does provide an interesting look into a way of life that is not accepted by society and how the people feel about themselves and the people around them. If you like simple comedies I would recommend this film.
