CALENDAR GIRLS (cert 12A)

"When Annie's husband dies of leukaemia, her best friend Chris comes up with a novel way to raise money for the hospital that cared for him. Why not produce a calendar featuring the two of them and fellow Women's Institute members in traditional WI poses - making jam, pressing flowers, knitting - but just to make it more interesting why not have them in the nude? News of the scheme spreads fast round their small village in the Yorkshire Dales and before long the women are hitting the headlines at home and abroad, an inspiration to millions of women around the world. But this sudden celebrity starts to take over their lives and, during a publicity trip to Hollywood, the friendship between Chris and Annie begins to crack."
