From there, its not hard to picture the inevitable runway show in Milan, populated by sassy, strutting drag queens.

Nothing terribly wrong in that, but the flat out commercialism, the pandering for laughs and tears, can get a bit exhausting after a while.
Cs Monitor

Its cheerful, predictable and far from edgy, but buoyed by a likable cast and a standout performance by the versatile Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Film Journal

Lola, at least the way Ejiofor plays her, has a sad story shes eager to tell. The movie never entirely figures out what to do with this.

Like that film, this one strives to be nothing more than a sweetheart of a little comedy with a big human heart and some genuinely funny moments.
