Calendar Girls 2003, directed by Nigel Cole, starring Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Penelope Wilton, John Alderton, Linda Bassett, Annette Crosbie, Philip Glennister, Ciarán Hinds, Celia Imre, Geraldine James, Graham Crowden and others.
Drama with comedy based on real events. A Women's Institute chapter's fundraising effort for a local hospital by posing nude for a calendar becomes a media sensation.
A warm and nice movie were some local women tries to do something different, than the local calendars usual themes of beautiful bridges or post boxes.
A sort of opposite calendar to those car or tool manufacturers used to give their costumors in December, and I remember those since even we in the office building were thrown those on our working tables.
Out of one woman's tragedy when her husband died in Leukemia, this fantastic idea was born.
As it is in life both happy and sad things happenes over the years, and this movie transforms this into the story, while it is light and comedic, it also dares to be tragic, dramatic, serious and tearfull, and blends it well without beeing cloying.
On the DVD extra we meet a few of the real women, and seeing those gutsy ladies, what an experience it must have been.
Surpriced that this movie was made by Touchstone, a Disney company, but there was a time when they didn't remake their old movies every other month.
I liked this move, because of the story, and because 50+ actresses shows they can still kick ass, given an interesting story and characters to portray, and it's entertaining.
While this movie contains some nudity it doesn't promote porn.
