What happens

Just Like a Woman is a 1992 British comedy-drama film directed by Christopher Monger, and starring Julie Walters, Adrian Pasdar and Paul Freeman. The screenplay by Nicholas Evans is based on the 1985 novel Geraldine, For the Love of a Transvestite by Monica Jay. One of few "cross-dressing" films in which the hero is actually a transvestite, therefore having pure intentions, unlike Some Like It Hot, Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire and others in which the cross-dresser has an ulterior motive, the film was a modest commercial and critical success.
