Watch Just Like a Woman For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Admirable film.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

This film is a comedy drama which depicts the struggles of a transvestite man in his thirties. He constantly suppresses his obsession due to the social attitude towards this habit. Transvestite is a rather complicated topic and the one portrayed in this film is just one of the many examples. The story line is set up in a way in which the audiences are led to think in the same way as the ex-wife of Gerald. Tension is built up and the story gradually progresses to the truth that he is indeed a transvestite. Editing is nicely used to uncover the truth step by step. Acting of the two main characters is fantastic, they are able to bring the audiences to their position and look from their perspectives. The break down scene of Geraldine when Monica drove "her" home from the police station is so touching that almost makes me cry.However, a coin has two sides; and of course, this film has its weaknesses. It is confusing sometimes for the audiences to understand the logic of Genrald. For instance, he could not have sex relationship with Monica being Gerald but he could do it with his ex-wife. This is not logical and is hard to get. Moreover, the ending of the film is vague and it does not provide solutions to the family he had in the beginning of the film.Overall, this film is recommended to those who are interested in the gender issues. Since the psychological process of people who feels not belonging to his/ her original gender is rather complex, this film may act as a doorway to comprehend the intricate topic of gender.

When I heard that Adrian Pasdar was in drag in this movie, my expectations that I would watch the entire movie were low. The only reasons I gave it a chance were the magnificent Julie Walters and the recommendation of a friend.What i thought would be a broad "Mrs. Doubtfire" type of farce turned out to be a gentle and insightful comedy. Pasdar is entirely credible and empathetic as the ambitious business man who needs to release the female part of his being by cross-dressing on occasions. He transmits these needs to the audience in a thoroughly believable fashion. Julie Walters is magnificent, is as her habit, as the landlady who teaches him unconditional love.

Julie Waters is always marvelous but Adrian Pasdar is a positive revelation in this wry gender-bent comedy about a transvestite who cannot suppress his obsession, and the changes he goes through when he's discovered. Unerringly eschews the vulgar, raucous easy jokes for genuine wit and true insight, and has an absolute ball while doing it. A very nice, low-key, feel-good, comedy
