Movie Reviews of Calendar Girls
Movie Review: T*ts out for the lads
Summary: 5 Stars
True story of a Women's Institute branch in England. Renown for there staunch Britishness, the WI, which is often known as the "Twin set and pearls" Brigade, issue a Calender every year as part of their charity fund raising efforts. In the memory of one of the ladies late husband, one particular branch made their own calendar with the women posing naked, tastefully so, and issued the calendar to the utter amazement of the WI and the media. The success of the calendar gave it some respectability amongst the upstanding middle class ladies of the WI and the movie details the story from beginning to end. Great movie, great actresses, the film takes you from the conception of the calendar all the way to their appearance on US TV.
Movie Review: Makes you think *and* laugh
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite movies of the last 10 years - Calendar Girls is witty (pay close attention to catch all of Chris's sotto voce comments) while dealing with serious life experiences like marital troubles, juvenile misbehaviour, and even death. Helen Mirren and Julie Waters demonstrate why they are two of the best actresses in the business but their fellow calendar girls are not overshadowed, even though the actresses who play them may be relatively unknown. Worth seeing any night of the week.
Wonder if they'd consider a sequel about Chris's suggestion for a George Clooney calendar - 11 fully-clothed and a "lift the flap" for December.
Movie Review: THE BEST OF FRIENDS
Summary: 5 Stars
IT WAS SAD TO SEE ONE FRIEND LOOSE HER HUSBAND TO THAT UGLY WORD "CANCER".
BUT TO FRIENDS, LIKE THE ALL THE LADIES IN CALENDAR GIRLS IS SOMETHING VERY RARE.
IT IS A WONDRFUL MOVIE. I WATCH IT ALL THE TIME. I HAD TROUBLE FINDING IT, EVEN
THE DVD CLUB THAT I BELONG TO DID NOT HAVE IT. BUT THANKS TO AMAZON.COM I
WAS ABLE TO GET. I SHOULD GET ANOTHER ONE IN CASE THIS BREAKS..
MY TRULY DEEP FEELINGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS HOW THEY ALL CARE ABOUT EACH AND
EVEN IN A VERY HURTFUL WAY, THEY ROUNDED TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THEIR MISSION.
BRAVO, BRAVO
Movie Review: favorite video
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie quite a while ago and since then had casually looked for it in the stores to buy it. I never saw it for sale. Recently, something made me remember this movie and the fact that I had never found it for sale so I ordered it from Amazon who sent me to you. The price was great, the service excellent and I got my video finally. It's in excellent condition. This movie will make you smile and poke fun at the british humour in it. I love all the ladies in this movie, they are priceless.Movie Review: Praise for Older Women
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie that celebrates the glory of women as they grow older. Many a younger man does not realize the glories of the older woman's sexuality and sensuality. "The women of Yorkshire only get more lovely with time." is the theme of this film. It is touching and warm, and has an all star cast of british actresses and actors that make the movie so real and enjoyable. It is a movie to watch over and over and over with someone you have loved for a long time.
