Military Wives

It had a story-line that pushed me to stick to it through the end with my husband, who is a sentimentalist and sat weeping throughout the latter part. Will they succeed? (Foreordained.) I didn't laugh once; the comedy was the worst part of it. It was a tissue of cliches and sentimentality. It could have been far better. How? I'm not a screen-writer; I don't know. But I do know when a film is MEH. This one fit the bill.

With their partners away serving in Afghanistan, a group of women on the home front form a choir that becomes and media sensation and then a global movement. This true-life story makes for a moving and easy-to-watch tale of friendship and love.

Pleasant movie, with good music, appealing characters and some drama, but ultimately a bit cookie cutter and feel good. It was a nice homage at the end to have real military wives' choirs singing together from all over UK (including possessions abroad).

I thought this was quite a cheesy film - its a little cliched, even though its based on a true story, it felt a bit too 'obvious' I suppose?. Its a nice enough story for the most part though and the cast do an alright job, with some nice themes. Its an ok watch but I wouldn't recommend going particularly out of your way to see this. I thought it seemed more like a TV film or an extended TV show, rather than an all out film as such, although I did like the last scene before the credits, which brought home the fact that it is a real life movement as it were.

I enjoyed this. I might never have found it had I not seen Sharon in CATASTROPHE and looked for her other work. Kristin Scott Thomas does what she does well. The music is nice. It's cute. Unsure why the audience score isn't higher.

Real life stress of being a military wife bought to the screen at a humane level. Very c

I was pleasantly surprised with this film. Not an Oscar candidate, but it was entertaining & interesting.

A refreshing take on a war film which in a very small way pays suitable homage to the partners of the heroes serving abroad.

It's a shame the immense talents of Kristin Scott Thomas are wasted in such a bland movie.

I cannot believe so much acting talent was wasted in this way. It was simply boring.
