Calendar Girls lasts for 104 minutes starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. This DVD is funny and in some places lighthearted; great for a real girl's night in.

When twelve women from the WI find themselves in a difficult position, they turn to their annual fundraiser, the WI calendar. This time, instead of the usual sticky buns and gardening, the women behind are naked!

I enjoyed this DVD because it was great fun and in places sad and made me think about how the situations compare to real life. This was based on a true story so wasn't too far fetched yet the plotline is still interesing and worth making a film about.

However, I found with this film that it was difficult to understand near te beginning but as the movie progressed: cleared some things up for me, partly because I hadn't a clue what the WI was.

I would reccomend this film to anybody looking for a laugh but tired of the same old chick flicks. Really worth a watch.

If you have any comments about this reveiw and how it could be improved please leave a comment, it will be much appreciated.
Thankyou, Alex

A good start and I love the film too and didn't think I would at all. As you are only reviewing the film it is a good idea to change your format showing to film only as otherwise information about the dvd is expected too such as what the extras are, sound quality etc. All you need to do is press the edit button in the centre of the page near the top as you read your review, make the change and press send once only.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
