So misunderstood - Such a great film

For some unknown reason, very few people seem to have enjoyed this film. The story is, admittedly, rather simple and somewhat predictable. Charlie inherits the family shoe factory and must let workers go, for the market is simply... not what it used to be. One worker, Lauren, tells him to fight and find a niche market, which he will: in the form of a transvestite, played brilliantly by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Brilliant directing and extremely well-casted. I loved watching the production of shoes, and the designs that Lola creates are superb. The ending especially is predictable, but so what? This is a movie to be watched for entertainment, as well as for its amazing... soundtrack!
