Calendar Girls
2003
**½
Director: Nigel Cole
Cast: Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, John Alderton, Linda Bassett, Celia Imrie

A moderately amusing comedy about a group of middle-aged Yorkshire women who want to create a nude calendar for charity. This wacky premise is actually based on an amazing true story. However, the whole film is built on the notion that being in the nude is somehow incredibly comical. The climactic trip to L.A. is utterly pointless.
