Calendar Girls

It took us two nights, we were so sleepy, but we did manage to watch Calendar Girls this weekend. It was pretty cute, though I have a soft spot for British film (or American film with British accents, I guess). There's a lot of amateur T'ai Chi in it, and I kept thinking that our old teacher would love the movie, but might hate the T'ai Chi... she used to go on so about those Celebrex commercials. (Though what I found least believable about those commercials was the calm Border Collie.)

Anyway, it wasn't much of a movie, but surely worth $3 to rent. Helen Mirren was fun, as was Julie Walters (Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, and the ballet teacher in Billy Elliot). Perhaps the best part was watching the featurette on the real Calendar Girls (this was the DVD version). Watch it after the movie, so you know who everyone is.
