Review: Military Wives

If its plotting is as pioneering as a treble clef, this unassuming little number was never pretending to be anything but a tra la to grace under pressure.

Film review: Military Wives

Lightning fails to strike twice for Peter Cattaneo, Oscar-nominated director of The Full Monty, with another heart-warming comedy drama of community spirit in the face of adversity.

Military Wives review

I cried so much during Military Wives - to put it in resolutely British terms, a light drizzle turned into a cloudburst and then a solid, steady downpour - I should probably now come with a flood warning.

Review: Military Wives

Lacks drama or any real depth but it is nonetheless very watchable.

Review: Military Wives

If you thought the story of redundant Sheffield steel workers becoming strippers was a heartwarming piece of cinema, you will take to Military Wives.
