Calendar Girls

Why should the guys in The Full Monty have all the fun? Calendar Girls, based on a true story, features middle-aged members of one of Britain’s staid Women’s Institute groups who decide to pose without clothes for their annual calendar, shocking their rural town and unexpectedly become the sensation of the nation. Sure, it’s charming, but thanks to the irrepressible Helen Mirren, whose sexiness has nothing to do with age, the movie also has some grit.
