Having read the hype, seen the trailers, I was hoping the film wasn't going to let me down. It was superb in every aspect, for any of you that have ever sat on a committee or PTA this is definitely a must see. I saw myself in this film sitting in the back row of many a meeting. How many times have you sat there and said I could run this better and had all the ideas but not the conviction to follow it through.
The tears ran down my face from beginning to end with both the underlying sadness of the subject matter and the humour with which a group of middle class village ladies pulled out all the stops. I can't wait for the video!
