Military Wives

I could relate to this film! The choir, the sisterhood, the deployments & all that entails. Most of all however much of a rubbish day you have is the day when you need the choir the most.

Inspired by true events this film is truly uplifting, funny and sad , a true must see

We all know the story. This should have been amazing. But it was very weak. It failed to find the real magic. It cut out Gareth. It didn't use the music. Instead it went for awful beret wearing, saluting with the wrong arm and cringing stereotypes. I was annoyingly disappointed with this. A tiny bit of humour but that was it. I felt nothing. And the climax was woeful. Watch it on a damp Sunday (or pandemic) but don't expect too much. Sorry.

Perhaps it is the concept of it all rather then the movie itself, a whole group of women ,that seem to have nothing much to do except worry about their men and wait for them, find ways to make time pass. I just could not grasp how old fashioned it all seemed. Do none of these women have jobs and interests and a life outside of their husbands work? Do the armed forces still work like this around the world, men working and women sitting at home knitting and singing...I guess the movie is cute but so outdated somehow.
