With stars such as Julie Walters, Annette Crosbie, Cleia Imerie and Penelope Wilton this film can be nothing but excellent. This is a film based on a real story. After the death of a loved one from cancer eleven members of rylestone wi who used to sit and listen to guest speakers talking about such exciting things as brocoli decided to sit naked for a traditional wi calander with a twist. This film travels their journey from deciding that the money they raised would buy a sofa for the local hospital to raising a lot more money than anyone had ever thought.Watch as eleven women who have never stripped of at the beach before end up stripping off and standing behind items such as apple presses, buns,knitting flower aranging to name but a few items eventually have to let the male photographer in to take the pictures. The launch publicity was a shock to these women who would have thought they would be flying to america for publicity tour. this is a excellant film you have to see it to believe it.

Helen Mirren's in it too... A little more detail and personal opinion would make the review much better...

Hi, really sorry but still needs a bit more, as I said, try looking at eve6kicksass for ideas or just read a few more film reviews and you'll soon get the hang of it... let me know if you update further, still more than happy to re-rate for you... don't stress over it though, my first couple of ops were only rated SH and I haven't had time to go back to them yet, it just gets better with practice :)
