What a brave and unusual romantic comedy. Thank God the BBC is still open-minded enough for such projects, which are not only important, but ultimately wonderfully entertaining.
At the core of the boy-meets-girl, who used to be one of his mates at school, now transsexual, love story is Steven Mackintosh, who portrays Karl-now-Kim with such dignity and style that this film never feels sticky or cumbersome, as one might fear going into it.
Rupert Graves plays the bad-boy "Prentice" with such charm that one thoroughly understands why Kim allows her new-found, quiet life to be turned upside down. He shows Kim that finding the right gender doesn't necessarily make you a whole person...That comes from conviction and caring. It requires passion - something he's full of and is able to rekindle in his old schoolmate. And who knows...maybe she'll get him to change his socks daily!
Thoroughly charming!

You have to keep stopping to remind yourself that the two main characters were once schoolpals.Watching the macho Rupert Graves falling for Steven Macintosh is very entertaining.

I was quietly surprised by this film. The story revolves around two ex-school friends only one has now had a sex-change. Karl tries to come to terms with this and his own sexuality as he becomes drawn to Kim and away from his girlfriend. The relationship progresses through various stages as we follow their lives. The only disappointment from my point of view was the arrest scenes as I think they were a bit over the top. Apart from that, this is a thoroughly enjoyable film.
