m67165 Based on a true story! I specially liked the fact that the gay characters ranged from the operated one, who looks just like a woman, to the cute young man that looks just like a polite heterosexual guy. But the over the top way they present themselves, to the hilarious concern of the only straight guy of the team, is what makes this touching comedy all the more fun. Go, Iron Ladies!

Kazuhisa This movie is very entertaining. Thai movies are not as familiar as American movies in Japan, but I enjoyed this one. Thai society has a huge number of gay people while it still holds bias about them. This movie has successfully changed the attitude to gay people in Thailand. Now people are less likely to discriminate gay people than before. This is what I have heard from my Thai friends. If you are biased about gay people, you should take time to watch this movie. If you are not, you should watch it. It is still worth watching. This movie not only has some serious comments by gay people but also includes funny scenes. You can laugh and enjoy while you learn about gay culture in Thailand. At last, please do not forget that this movie is based on Amazing truth!

Bellle I've heard about this movie for quite sometimes before actually manage to see it. It has been given very good reviews from the Media. In this movie, each character is interesting and been given their own special attention, starting from the important character like Mon & Chai, to the less important roles like April, May & June. It pretty much revolves around a bunch of drag queen playing volleyball , entering competition,sportsman ship, team work, relationship between transsexuals and real men, sexual discrimination. You will enjoy this movie from the start till the end, although sometimes in some scenes, the director didnt really make it clear why on earth that particular scenes is needed for. The actors and actresses made a good job as drag queen and gay people considering the fact that all of them (except one) claimed to be straight and most of them are in 'straight relationship', and also, you'll get to learn and see the wonders or Thailand, and also the way they made a movie about volleyball in thailand, considering that Volleyball is not a popular sports in Thailand, yet, this movie still manage to emerged as the 2nd highest grossing movie ever, in Thailand, behind the movie NangNak. Recommended to everyone, you wont regret it.

GMeleJr From Thailand, this film (winner of two 2001 Berlin Film Festival "Teddy Awards)" is an outrageous high-camp comedy, which despite its eccentricities, is sure to entertain all audiences, and have a strong positive message for everyone. THE IRON LADIES (English title) celebrates the true 1996 triumph of a group of hilarious Thai screaming queens.Through a series of circumstances, the drag queens, join a new (and female) coach and the sole survivor (and only straight player) of a district volleyball squad to form a new team. Representing its district and now competing at the national level, they are clearly face down at odds. In spite of this and their individual "personal issues," they strive for championships and national recognition, creating an Asian phenomenon on the way.The film is very Hollywood-slick, but at the same time, very Asian. It is a unique picture of very unconventional sportsmen battling bigotry on and off the court. IRON LADIES breathes new life into both the screwball comedy and the root-for-the underdog sports movie. Not to be missed.
