Synopsis

When Kevin Richards (writer/director/producer/star Ricky Reidling) loses his third job in the past six months, his girlfriend Teresa gives him one week to find another job or else he will be finding himself a new place to live and a new girlfriend! One night out to celebrate a friends wedding engagement Kevin hears the emcee announce something about a contest and a $1,500 cash prize, did someone say cash? Oh la la!

Out of desperation Kevin goes backstage and convinces Celeste, one of the female impersonators, to show him the ropes. Along with the help from Celeste's friends, Roxy, Chica and Donela, they take Kevin on one incredible journey he will never forget! Heels is destined to be a cult classic!

Review

Ricky Reidling's (Boystown) is one of those films that you've got to love. Heels is just overflowing with heart and soul - so what if a few of the rough spots show due to the low budget - it's a classic story, well-told. And yes, I guessed the ending of the film, and you will too, but that's the fun of an old-fashioned romance - we know the ending - and it's a good one.

Kevin (filmmaker Ricky Reidling) is living with a stick-in-the-mud named Teresa. I have no idea how such a sweet character ended up with this shrew of a woman. She's enough to turn any man gay. Out to celebrate the engagement of two friends at a drag queen bar. (Well, yes it is odd that four straight friends would celebrate an engagement at a drag club, but it's a movie.) Kevin hears about a $1000 prize for best drag queen and he thinks he might have the answer to his perennial job woes. Of course, he's straight and has never worn a dress or donned heels. So he wanders backstage and enlists the help of Celeste aka Jason (Albertossy Espinoza). Somehow this all works; Kevin dumps the nasty chick and the rest, well you can figure it out.

Lots of fun - even a few almost tears and truly a sweet film - Ricky Reidling's Heels is a genuinely heartfelt romance.

Customer Reviews

An excellent movie I highly recommend it!

I had the pleasure of seeing HEELS at the North Carolina film festival and can't remember when I had so much fun watching a film! The film has an amazing talented cast that kept me laughing through the entire duration of the film! They were all on queue with the comedic timing and I have to give Ricky credit for writing such an amazing script and doing a great job as Kevin in the film, their was never a dull moment. Julie Nill who played his girlfriend did an amazing job playing the worst girlfriend that you would ever want to have, her timing was impeccable. Albertossy Espinoza who plays Jason\Celeste did a great job! He seemed to always be trying to keep his fellow performers in line, even though he didn’t always succeed! Roxy Wood who plays Moesha along with her two accomplises Chica and Donela were fantastic (the car scene they were in had me laughing so hard I thought I would pee in my pants). Everyone was laughing so loudly inside the theater that I think I did miss a lot of the dialogue. The film has great production value along with a great music score and some chart busting dance tracks. Not since “To Wong Foo” have I had so much fun seeing a gay comedy. I am sitting and waiting patiently for the release of the film
