When I first saw the advertising for this film I have to say that it didn’t particularly apeal to me. The idea of women stripping of for a calender isn’t one that is easily associated with the older women that you imagine to be part of the women’s institute.

However, now that I have seen the film I have to say that my initial impressions were entirely wrong. This film is excellent! This is mainly due to the strong cast which includes Helen Mirren and Julie Walters as well as unpredictable laughs throughout the film mixed with poignant moments.

I really don’t want to give too much away about this film as it is definitely worth watching (although I have to say is possibly more of a chick flick despite the naked women!). What most impressed me about this film is that it is based on a true story, that some women’s institute members did pose for a calendar for charity, good for them!

Hi, Good comments but a bit brief and maybe too personal - if someone was reading your review trying to decide whether to watch the film, I'm not sure if your review would help them decide ? Anyway, glad you liked it. x

A warm welcome to ciao. Some good advice has already been given about what information to add to your review. Just in case you don't know how there is an edit button in the left hand corner under the advantages/disadvantages section as you look at your review. Let me know when you have added more information and I will return to re-read it. Fionaxx
