Summary: Witty and utterly charming
Comment: Calendar Girls
During a business trip to Washington, D.C., I saw the original Rylstone calendar on which the movie was based. I was intrigued, to say the least so had to see the film when it came out. Later, I bought the DVD (this, like a similar film--The Full Monty--is one you'll want to have in your DVD library).
The film is loosely based on a true story, of a North Yorkshire District Women's Institute group who posed for a caalendar to raise money for a hospital waiting room sofa where John, the husband of one of the members had died of leukemia.
It is a story of love and compassion, and also of the problems brought on by fame. It is heartwarming, humorous, witty, touching, and utterly charming.
There's nudity, but presented in a tasteful way. You'll love all the women in the tiny fictional town of Knapley. Kudos to the magnificent Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, who play Chris and Annie (the characters on whom the film was based).
Buy it, rent it, enjoy it!
Highly recommended for sheer entertainment value.

Summary: Calendar Girls
Comment: Sort of a take off on The Full Monty - which of course was hilariously funny! Helen Mirren is amazing - the cast is great - done very tastefully as any British film would - with humor and dry wit that is great! Light hearted - real - good humor with out the violence and horror that seems to have invaded our screens today - always keep these on hand for the times you need a good laugh!

Editorial Reviews:

When 12 ordinary members of the Women's Institute, a prim and proper local ladies' club, decide they need to find a more compelling way to raise money for a new charity, they turn to their traditional annual calendar and give it a very untraditional twist. Behind the usual baked goods, the apple pressing, and the flower arrangements are the women -- completely nude! Starring 2003 Golden Globe nominee Helen Mirren (Best Actress, CALENDAR GIRLS) and Julie Walters (HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS), CALENDAR GIRLS is a terrifically entertaining comedy. And that's the naked truth.
