As good as Jessica Marais is as an actress, it is an obvious case of miscasting for her to have been chosen to play a role which is so much calling-out to be portrayed by an actor and not an actress. Did Carlotta select Ms Marais simply to be recognised as a very beautiful and svelte woman of incredible feminine appeal? Realistically, Carlotta should have been assigned to the talents of a professional drag-queen such as Courtney Act. The whole movie collapses simply because we can not visualise the stunning Jessica Marais as having ever been a boy! After all, it would have suited the purposes of the plot for viewers to actually witness a man delivering the attributes required for a transgender to make the grade as a successful showgirl.
