Synopsis

Karl Foyle and Paul Prentice were best mates at school. But when they meet again in present-day London things are definitely not the same. Karl is now Kim, and she has no desire to stir up the past while she’s busy forging a neat and orderly new life. Prentice, on the other hand, has charm but is a social disaster stuck in a dead-end job. His main talent is for getting them both into trouble. Amid the squabbles, they start to fall in love. —IMDb

A lighthearted, positive film about a transgendered individual is something quite pleasant to see indeed. To say this film was ahead of its time is pretty unfortunate, but true nonetheless considering the very few films about a topic still very controversial in 2012 - and this film did it in a comedic, respectful way! The film had its faults, that's true, but how normalized the center topic was really enjoyable.
