Different for Girls is good for everyone

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is a film from 1996 but don't let that put you off. It is standing the test of time. It is about Kim, a post operative trans-sexual and Paul, his/her mate from school. Karl/Kim was bullied at school for being gay, in reality he was a she in a male body. Paul protected him. We see that in flashback. Then Paul sees Kim/Karl and the penny drops for Paul...they know each other, but obviously something is different. Paul liked Karl at school, 'liked' him although didn't act on it I think. Now there is the social taboo of sex change rather than same sex attraction...but Paul is curious and persues a relationship with Kim...not sexual, just a relationship. Then he questions further but becomes aroused by what he hears and leaves. Things become sinister when they are arrested for their behaviour because of the ensuing argument. The Policeman gropes Kim and once again Paul protects Kim/Karl. This time it goes to court...not good. Kim needs to be a witness for Paul in court but her life has been spent trying to blend in, not stand out...this is a trial for her in more ways than one. She does the right thing and becomes the protector but the Press get hold of the story and Paul seemingly turns on Kim and sells the story. However, all is not what it seems. Kim encouraged him to sell the story of their schoolboy situation and following relationship, but the accompanying picture is that of the school bully who targetted Karl/Kim. They end up...do you want to know? Not going to say except...sigh. Cute, cute, cute. There is a shocking scene when Paul asks Kim to 'show him' what was done...shocking in that what you see and what you know about the actor playing Kim don't come together. You see woman but know she IS a man...very well done. Steven Mackintosh plays a great girl. Rupert Graves plays an endearing besotted suitor...worth a look, it will be a double take at 'that' scene. Recommend it.

Refreshingly Different

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

Made in 1996 and starring Rupert Graves and Steven Mackintosh, "Different for Girls" is refreshingly different from many films involving transgender characters, and particularly more so for a film that came out of the mid-1990s. While it would have been more authentic and powerful if it had a transgender actress playing the female lead, Kim Foyle, the time period in which it was made would have made that quite difficult to do. It is the story of two best friends who reunite as adults. Paul Prentice (whom Kim calls Prentice) is still as irresponsible and childish as ever, working as a motorcycle courier and living in a very messy studio apartment, while Kim is poised, mature, and successful at her job writing greeting cards, a far cry from the bullied boy Prentice used to protect when they were in school. They struggle to reconnect as adults after a chance meeting, no longer having very much in common and with Prentice adjusting to seeing Kim as a woman rather than as the boy he once knew, until one night when everything changes and they must reassess their friendship and their lives. They're not perfect characters, and they experience both personal and professional problems in their lives, which adds to the depth and feel of the film and to their character development, and I loved how the film interspersed their modern-day reconnection with flashbacks to their childhood friendship, as well as their relationships with their friends, family, and co-workers to show two fully formed, complex characters who change and grow as people throughout the course of the film. I really liked its complexity and its depth, and just how really refreshingly different it was from your standard romantic film.

An *Awesome* - BUT - "True* Movie

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2004

Verified Purchase

I throughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end! When I first saw it, I cried because I am a Transsexual (a label given by the Psychiatric profession to people "Born" with this medical condition). I watch this movie at least once a week because I "Totally" relate to what Kim went through during her Transition as well as her life afterward especially in dealing with her family, friends, co-workers, law enforcement, etc. The actor who portrayed Kim did an "AWESOME" performance in his portrayal of a woman -- in her walk, talk, mannerisms, reactions to every situation that she found herself in, and her quiet moments by herself.
The actor who played her friend "Printice" did a wonderful job in portraying her close friend from earlier in life even if he still exhibited immaturity in different situations. His reactions to Kim, what she looked like as a woman, her attitude towards him, his reactions to her, and the situations he found himself in were wonderful because they depicted the reactions that most people would find themselves in if they experienced the same things that Printess did. I HIGHLY recommend this film to everyone!

Well balanced

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2002

Prentice and Kim the main characters apparently are total opposites; but become stronger as they help one another in many levels to overcome flaws, fears, insecurities etc.
There are not many transgender films, and specially one with a happy end which can be credible.
Though Prentice seems rough and unpolished, he remains noble and good hearted since his days in High School, while not protecting Kim as much he learns to accept her and tries to discover the ways he can relate to the "person". The relationship is one of friendship where he has no barriers to express what he thinks and feels, he sees Kim as his buddy and later on as his female buddy-lover, without ever loosing respect.
Kim, though remaining fragile, distrustful, distant and insecure, lets herself be beautiful, and most important of all to be loved. The table turns, and prentice is the one who needs the protection/help from Kim.
They both step out of their day to day routine, to experiment life without prejudice and to see through their own eyes who they are. And perhaps that is the clue to a healthy relationship, to work as a team.
Good acting, good movie, good end.

Glorious, Unusual 'Romcom'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

This charming film is a great one for anyone who loves a good old cozy romcom but wishes for something a bit different, off the beaten track, away from the more tedious cliches of some of the genre. Steven Mackintosh and Rupert Graves are both excellent as the two protagonists, who were best friends (and each other's only friend) at an unpleasant boys school but who have since lost touch. When they meet again, Prentiss (Graves) has a dead-end job and has signally failed to grow up. But Karl (Mackintosh) is now Kim, having undergone a sex-change. They find they still connect and rediscover the fondness between them, but where will it go when Kim has sworn off all relationships with men and Prentiss is having trouble seeing his old friend in her true gender?

Heart-warming, funny, interesting and with a great soundtrack, this is a lovely piece of British cinema, and hopefully it will one day get the Region 2 release it deserves.
