7 / 10 Interesting curiosity about a boy named Dennis who loves football, enjoys war films, is best friends with another boy and is attracted to girls and not to boys, but who also, at twelve, discovers a love of getting into fashionable dresses and going out as his female alter ego, Denise. In other words, not a trans child but a burgeoning crossdresser, on kids' TV. Silly humour, a great twist at the end and a nice message of acceptance arguably undercut by David Walliams's (he wrote the book) turn as an effeminate, fluff-headed drama teacher who becomes a useless substitute referee -- still, the film and book may go some way to reducing the world's total of pain around this sort of thing. Not in the same league though as the wonderful 1994 French short Tout le monde est parfait, about a transvestite whose young son lives with his prejudiced ex-wife and is turning out gay.
