Having sat in silence I looked this unknown film up on this site.I found a very unusual situation.Despite the fact that more people,including me had given this tripe a 1 than a 10.Furthermore there are 3 pages of reviews,all glowing and many giving it 10.I thought that is unfair for those amongst us who gave it 1 to be totally unrepresented.So here is a review on behalf of those who had the good sense to give it 1.I doubt that it is coincidence that the male characters female name is Geraldine.It is an misconceived tribute to the greatest cross dressing film ever.Billy Wilder must be turning in his grave.I have no objections to a comedy about transvestites.I object to a bad comedy about transvestites.

I heard someone say that all men are born with a desire to dress as a woman. Well, I don't know if its true for all, but Gerard in this movie is surely one of them. However, it makes the concept of transvestism complicated because the movie include aspects from Kabuki and Scottish kilt skirt, which are not at all related to cross dressing. Also, I was confused with his female character Geraldine. If he feel as a she, would he still be a transvestite? Very difficult to categorize him. Overall, the movie glamorizes transvestism too much. I really feel the intension and doesn't seem natural. Seems totally fiction, and I don't really appreciate that. But the story itself is pretty interesting. Very melodramatic.

Just Like A Woman is very entertaining light comedy film. It follows the story of Gerald, a transvestite man who is having a huge dilemma whether he he should quit being a transvestite or live a life of an ordinary heterosexual man to avoid complications in his life. It was actually my first time to watch a transvestite movie and I really enjoyed it and at the same time I've learned so many new things about being a transvestite. When I first saw the scene where Gerald dressed up as a woman in front of Monica, I actually thought that as he transformed his looks from a man into a woman, his sexuality changes too but clearly it did not. I have learned that transvestite people are not weird and not because they have the urge of dressing up like a woman is that they have some mental problem. This movie clearly shows that being a transvestite is not a hindrance to be a normal person and as for Gerald, even he is a transvestite he was successful with his career and can live a normal life once he is back from being Geraldine to Gerald. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this film and recommend that everyone who are not fully educated with this kind of stuff should watch this film, it will definitely open your mind to a more realistic view of sexual identities.

With this topic, it is so easy to take cheap shots. You know, the guy with hairy legs trying to look like Marilyn Monroe. Not here -- Adrian Pasdar does a superb job of making Gerald a REAL person, someone you care deeply about, and as a result you feel for his plight trying to live both as Gerald and Geraldine. Not only that, but as Geraldine, he looks HOT! And the chemistry between him and Julie Walters is electric. These are two characters who feel love for one another, and it comes through even when they simply look at each other over the breakfast table. Even the potentially cheesy sub-story line of corporate takeovers is believable, and you find yourself cheering at the end! At least I did!
