Product Description
When 12 ordinary members of the Women's Institute, a prim and proper local ladies' club, decide they need to find a more compelling way to raise money for a new charity, they turn to their traditional annual calendar and give it a very untraditional twist. Behind the usual baked goods, the apple pressing, and the flower arrangements are the women -- completely nude! Starring 2003 Golden Globe nominee Helen Mirren (Best Actress, CALENDAR GIRLS) and Julie Walters (HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS), CALENDAR GIRLS is a terrifically entertaining comedy. And that's the naked truth.

he didn’t really want to watch. However … he did and laughed at the funny parts. He said he enjoyed
movie but I did have to explain why the ladies did the calendar. So worth watching.
Top reviews from other countries
The characters are all beautifully developed and well cast, every one of the women feels real with her own life and problems. Julie Walters and Helen Mirren deliver particularly memorable performances. Walters plays the grieving widow Annie with great dignity while Mirren is great fun to watch as the irresponsible and quirky Chris. But all the 'calendar girls' are delightful in their own way and each actress gets her moment to shine. Also nicely drawn and well cast are the men in their lives. John Alderton as Annie's dying husband makes the viewer care and understand why all this matters. Ciarán Hinds is great as Chris' husband about whom there's a lot more to like than initially meets the eye.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable film, and while it probably qualifies as a chick flick, this is one a lot of men may find fun to watch with the women in their lives.

Calendar Girls is a terrifically entertaining comedy --
WHAT CAN I SAY?
This charming film provides more genuine, out-and-out laughs than almost any comedy of recent times. `Calendar Girls' is heartwarming, touching and inspiring with Julie Walters and Helen Mirren head a wonderful cast, with Walters as a woman whose husband dies of leukemia and Mirren as her best friend who comes up with the idea of the calendar as a way of both honoring his memory and raising money for the local hospital.
Each of the `girls' in The Calendar is given her own unique personality so that we see them not just as a group, united in this inspiring endeavor, but as individuals working through their own personal demons on the rode to the project's completion. The women face the expected roadblocks and snafus in the form of `shocked,' disapproving voices in the community, but their belief in the rightness of their cause brushes all such problems aside.
Calendar Girls is brilliantly performed and directed
it is Heart Warming
it is Funny,
it is Charming
it is Entertaining,
it is undoubtedly a winner on every level. and that's the Naked Truth!
It is the almost unbelievable story of a simple decision to produce a calendar in memory of Angela's husband John Baker, w the Assistant National Park Warden who, unfortunately, died at what,these days, is a young age from leukaemia. The calendar was intended to be just for local interest but as we all now know became a best seller here and in the USA with
profits going to leukaemia research.
Although there is the sadness of John's death the film is by no means without humour from summoning up the initial courage to strip for the calendar to their experiences in America.
The film has particular memories for me because I was priviledged to know John from him being about 14 years of age. When we moved into our previous house John and his parents lived opposite to us and John used to deliver our copy of the local evening newspaper. We saw him grow up, go to university, get married to Angela and, in due course, bring his children to visit his parents.
The stars play these sensitive parts wonderfully and believably. And, if you look carefully, you will see some of the original calendar girls in two or three of the crowd scenes.
DVD buyers will have the additional treat of seeing interviews with some of the original 'girls', including Angela, in their own homes. Their efforts have now raised more than £1,000,000 for LEUKAEMIA RESEARCH.
Many other charities have gained by the 'copy cats' who, seeing the success of the Rylstone WI calendar, have also stripped off too produce calendars.
I am sure you will enjoy this film. It is one which you can watch more than once.
