Trivia
This movie was based on true events described in Monica Jay's biographical novel "Geraldine, For the Love of a Transvestite". However, the names of any real people have been changed to protect their identities.

Goofs
After Gerald and Monica finish having sex he stands up and walks away from the bed. It is briefly seen that he is wearing white boxers, a goof in itself as he was not seen pulling them on after supposedly finishing intercourse. The scene then cuts to a different angle of him walking away from the bed and he is naked.

Quotes
[Before the end credits roll]
Title Card: It's estimated that one man in every twenty feels the need to dress up in women's clothes. You may be sitting next to him.

Hidden gem is a gentle comedy

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.
