<DIV>Wow!!! I just got back from seeing Calendar Girls. This is an Excellent movie. I highly recommend it. For the Harry Potter fans, Julie Walters, who plays Mrs. Weasley in HP, plays Annie in Calendar Girls. She does an excellent job in another role as a strong woman. Even knowing that she was in the movie, I had to look carefully to see her in the character, she does such a great job. </DIV></DIV>

<P>The movie is based on a true story, you may remember reading about it in the papers or seeing some of the ladies on Jay Leno a few years ago. The following is a plot summary. As I said I highly recommend this movie. I know at some moments I was crying & at others I, as well as other people in the audience, was laughing out loud. </P>

<P>Calendar Girls is about the women of the Rylstone Women's Institute in North Yorkshire. This Women's Group produces a calendar each year based around scenes of the Yorkshire dales. In 1999, one of the ladies husbands became ill with leukemia. He would say that if the ladies planted Sunflowers, he'd make sure he'd get better so he could see them. Unfortunately, he didn't pull through and in order to raise funds for Leukemia research the women decided to make an alternative calendar of themselves in the nude hoping to sell a few hundred copies around their villages. This calendar in fact became a worldwide sensation, out-selling even those of Britney Spears and Cindy Crawford. </P>
