Calendar Girls ★★½ 2003 (PG-13) The local members of the Women's Institute club in Yorkshire decide to pose nude for a calendar in order to raise money for leukemia research. The calendar, surprisingly, is a hit, even though the models are a little older than your usual calendar pinup girls. Enjoyable for the right audience (read: fans of veddy understated British humor that is secondary to the drama), but starts losing cohesiveness near the end. Loosely based on a true story. 108m/C VHS, DVD.
