Calendar Girls The true story of the Women's Institute members who stripped for charity

Plot Chris and Annie are two of the more rebellious women of the Knapely W.I. When Annie's husband's dies of leukaemia, Chris comes up with the novel idea of cajoling fellow members into posing for a calendar to raise money for leukaemia research - but the catch is, they'll pose naked. Verdict While Calendar Girls will still have Daily Mail readers quivering with excitement behind their newspapers and will thrill older audiences, an unnecessary third act stops the film being a crowdpleaser for all generations.
