What we thought It’s what we would describe as “A Mum’s Film”. Very funny at times that will make any woman blush with sympathetic embarrassment! Moving and thought-provoking, it’s probably a film you give her with a box of tissues and then escape for the evening. She won’t even notice you’ve gone.
What they thought Calendar Girls is the hilariously quirky comedy starring Golden Globe winners Helen Mirren (Gosford Park, Teaching Mrs. Tingle) and Julie Walters (Educating Rita, Billy Elliot), and directed by Nigel Cole ( Saving Grace). When twelve extraordinary members of the Women’s Institute, a proper local charity, decide they need to find a new way to raise money for a very worthy cause, they turn to their annual calendar. Not wanting to divorce themselves from the traditional photographs, they give the calendar a very untraditional twist. Behind the baked goods, the apple pressing and the flower arrangements are the women – completely nude! This heartfelt story will have you laughing and crying at the same time.
