Overview
Members of a Yorkshire branch of the Women's Institute cause controversy when they pose nude for a charity calendar.
While the movie is loosely based on a true story, the main reason to watch this film is to watch a collection of superior actresses work together. I think that the first half of the film was far more interesting, probably because that is the heart of the actual story. I don’t know that the story necessitated a Hollywood movie, but I enjoyed my time with these actresses.
