Different for Girls staggers around, keeping its lovers apart as in any conventional romantic comedy.

Toplined by handsome Brit thesp Rupert Graves, offbeat serio comedy concerns the evolving friendhsip and eventual love between a rambunctious macho and a quiet insecure transsexual.

What makes this wonderfully deranged film fly is Rupert (“Maurice”; “Where Angels Fear to Tread”) Graves.

The story has a TV movie shorthand calculation and slightness.

Bland and conventional, despite the sex-change angle, Different for Girls is ultimately not different enough.

The film engages the audience on a gut level so that we care about Kim and Prentice.

Well-acted but essentially go-nowhere little movie.

One of the reasons why Different for Girls works is because of the caliber of acting.

[Graves and Mackintosh] put in gobsmackingly good performances.

Outstanding performances help this provocative British drama seem to tally up to something that is greater than its individual parts. But parts alone do not a solid movie make.
