It is unfortunate that Calendar Girls isn't the sort of movie that gets nominated for Oscars because, in my opinion (for what that's worth) this movie would have won hands down!
It is good, clean fun without needing any of the profanity or gratuitous sex or violence that seems to define nominated films these days. Yet is ISN'T "sanitized" or ridiculously "cleaned up" for family viewing - and, what's more, it's based on a true story!
I laughed myself to tears at everyday little incidents that were just SO believable and, to be honest, anyone who didn't thoroughly enjoy Calendar Girls has a severe mental disability where they they live in a fantasy world full-time!
This is one of those very few movies that you can watch again and again and still laugh your head off. Just the thing to brighten your day if you're feeling down.
