"Calendar Girls" DVD
Based on a true story, Nigel Cole's CALENDAR GIRLS has a mix of comedy
and heart-tugging emotion that compares with the comedies FOUR WEDDINGS
AND A FUNERAL and THE FULL MONTY. Annie (Julie Walters) and Chris (Helen
Mirren), of bucolic Yorkshire, belong to the Women's Institute (WI),
which preserves traditional homemaking practices. While they're just as
dedicated as the other ladies in the group, Annie and Chris are
adventurous personalities, and they poke fun at the WI's tedious
lectures on broccoli and fabrics. In an effort to raise money for the
local hospital while also spicing things up at the WI, the ladies decide
to put a new spin on the WI calendar, which usually depicts landscapes
or churches. The women will pose nude for the calendar while performing
traditional activities like baking and gardening. It's no surprise that
the finished calendar is a wild success, bringing the ladies instant
notoriety and adoration.<BR>Stellar talent carries the story,
especially from glorious Mirren, who portrays yet another daring female
character, as she did in past films like THE COOK, THE THIEF, HIS WIFE,
AND HER LOVER. Staying true to the real-life story, the film closely
matches the original calendar photos, and provides a funny, touching,
uplifting tale.
