As a story, Calendar Girls probably only rates 3 stars. But it's so rare, sparkling, and uplifting that I've got to give it 4. Starring Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, and many more, this film is guaranteed to make any woman smile - and most men too.
Eleven rather proper Women's Institute ladies in Yorkshire make a nude calendar to raise money to fight leukemia - in memory of one of the husbands. Really, that's the gist of the story. The movie elaborates it and gives it various twists and subplots. But the fact is - the women are glorious. The calendar is glorious. Words can't describe it. So - if you haven't already, see the film.
