- Synopsis
- Based on the true story of a group of women who bare all -- or nearly all -- for charity and become international celebrities as a result. The Women’s Institute, in Great Britain, encourages the ancient skills of jam-making, flower pressing, knitting and baking. So when a group of extraordinary women are looking for a new way to raise money, they decide to take the annual WI calendar, normally featuring landscapes or flowers, and create something traditional -- but with a twist. Behind the baked goods, the apple pressing and the flower arranging, the women are completely nude.

"It creates a strong sense of a living, breathing community, and you root for its affectionately drawn characters"
-
"Charming movie"
-
"Very funny and surprisingly likable until it goes Hollywood."
-
"This is good clean fun, with or without the soap, and one of the most spirited entries of the season."
-
"The film's appeal is universal, not just female, and, best of all, it's based on a true story"
-
"Unfortunately, the material doesn't justify the talent. These women deserve more than Calendar Girls ultimately gives them"
-
"It's a real-life story adapted into a grown-up comedy that is warm, winning and sexy"
