Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

malcolmgsw 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.

myflyingjellybean 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.

Aron Lewis "Just Like a Woman", released in 1992, is a film about a very successful 30 year old guy, played by, Adrian Pasdar, who is climbing up the food chain of the bank he works for. Oh, and he's a transvestite. After his wife unexpectedly returns home to find a bunch of female clothes (that aren't hers) all around his room she throws him out of the house, because, of course, what else could he be doing besides sleeping around? The story begins when he rents an apartment from a woman in her 50s, played by Barbara Walters. One thing leads to another and they start to see each other as something more. The story is really about their relationship and how they come to cope with the fact (if it's even possible) that he likes to wear woman's clothes.While this movie does have its moments, delivering a few chuckles here and there and some solid performances, I think the most interesting thing about it is how it delves into the area of transvestism, looking upon it in a realistic way. For some, transvestites are something that most people only hear about or only happen to see when walking downtown. But "Just Like a Woman" gives one of many possible insights into how a straight male actually thinks about it and thinks about his obsession. In one part he says something along the lines of "I'm not gay; it's just that I like wearing woman's clothing." And for this reason, I recommend this movie to anyone who's interesting in finding out a little bit more about a realistic interpretation of a transvestite and their own psychological struggles, with a laugh or two.

oh madeline 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
