Where The Iron Ladies makes its mark, and holds our interest, is in the way it integrates old-fashioned "low" comedy with social observation.
The movie has enough color and spirit to make lively viewing.
A satisfying Cinderella story in which its outcast crew finally get their glass slippers, if not handsome princes. In the greatest of storytelling traditions, it is a true fairy tale with a happy ending.
It's a frequently funny diversion that doesn't have a mean-spirited bone in its body.
A formulaic and didactic but good-hearted and sometimes amusing underdog sports yarn and plea for social acceptance.
Its screaming-queen stereotypes will look pretty retro in most Western markets, even if an earnest pro-tolerance message disarms potential offense.
A surprise hit in Thailand, the film is nonetheless a reductive mess.
