A Female Mid-Life-Crisis With Laughs
Review of Shirley Valentine (DVD) by

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -
...themselves, even. Willy Russel, in Shirley Valentine, writes about a woman who wants to be who she was. Not looks wise. Not hair wise. Not even boobs wise! No, she just wants to be able to be that woman again in her heart, and be Shirley Valentine once again. Shirley Valentine is one of those deep, light-hearted films for everyone. It’s a lovely tale, but it’s got a heck of a story or two, and it’s an absolute gem. It was performed ...

Review of Shirley Valentine (DVD) by
kgray71
Advantages: Too many to list
Disadvantages: Changes in the words
...as a girl; she was Shirley the Brave, Shirley Valentine.
Through Shirley we get introduced to her children (Brian & Miranda), friends and husband, Joe. We are also taken back to her teenage rebellious years and how he used to pick on Marjory Majors. In a turn of events Shirley meets up with Marjory in her later years (played by Joanna Lumley) and discovers some shocking news!
Shirley has two friends in her life Jane and the wall; she talks ...

WHAT Do You Think WALL
Review of Shirley Valentine (DVD) by
Mickie26
Advantages: Heartwarming, Passes time, In depth.
Disadvantages: A little rude.
Shirley Valentine has to be one of my all time favourite films. This film has several layers and whilst it's funny, a little rude and totally eccentric, it's also moving and heart warming.

It's true that all Shirley has ever wanted in her life is to be herself, but because of her demanding husband who values her cooking more than her company and her children ...

Boring Husbands Beware!!
Review of Shirley Valentine (DVD) by
arbie
Advantages: A realistic and engaging character
Disadvantages: None at all unless the film is too short
Shirley Valentine is a truly heartwarming tale about a forty something housewife who has reached a point in her life where she has stagnated in a world of supermarket shopping and talking to the wall. She is captured perfectly by Pauline Collins who is comical as well as moving.
Her mundane life will surely strike a chord with many women and I would have to say that I feel the film would have more appeal for a female than a male. The film opens ...
