Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Kinky Boots (2006)

Charlie's life was just starting -- snippy fiancée who's all red lips and determination, new flat in London, and a new career -- when his dad dies and it's up to him to figure out what to do with the small-town shoe factory.

Though the easiest thing to do would be to shut the place down, a cute little worker (with bare, rather than red, lips) he's just fired makes him realize, you know, the employees are people. In short order, he finds out that that cross-dressers are people, too: people with manly feet who wear womanly shoes. There's the set-up. So...can you guess what happens?

It's never riotously funny and the collision of the blue-collar drag queen worlds is done in by the fact that everyone involved is a stereotype.
