Synopsis:

Just Like a Woman is a contemporary cross-dressing farce played as if it were a romantic comedy. But still, in the deep recesses of the celluloid, the narrator from Ed Wood's Glen Or Glenda can be heard intoning, 'Remember, transvestites are not homosexuals.' The story begins when businessman Gerald (Adrian Pasdar) is kicked out of his house by his wife, who discovers Gerald in the possession of a strange woman's underwear. After being cast out of hearth and home, he ends up living in a rented room at the home of fortyish divorcee Monica (Julie Walters). The two proceed to fall in love, and all is well until Monica spots a mysterious woman creeping upstairs to Gerald's room. When Monica investigates, it turns out that the mystery woman is, in fact, Gerald. Monica is taken aback, but only for a moment, and they continue their affair -- dresses, panties, garter belts and all. As one of Monica's friends points out to her, 'It's 'is 'obby, luv . . . like golf . . .except you see more of him.' Unfortunately, so does Gerald's boss, Miles Millichamp (Paul Freeman) who abruptly fires him for being a transvestite. But Gerald's firing affects his firm's negotiations with an important Japanese company and he must muster up enough fortitude to both straighten out his career and his panty hose.

Monica, a London landlady, gets a new lodger, Gerald, an American financial consultant, who's recently divorced his wife. And a mysterious woman who seems very much at home in Gerald's room. But it's not what Monica thinks...and as she gets to know 'Geraldine' better, she begins to learn more about herself, too. But when Gerald gets arrested in a dress, and he's fired, it's up to Geraldine (and Monica) to vindicate him and get back his self-respect.
