Mrs. Taylor's Singing Club

Sharon and Kirsten are superb. It's a moving story of friendship under pressure of military life, war and pain, with a lovely musical backing track.

Funny, witty, poignant and for me very emotional.

I definitely would 👌👍

Military Wives is as formulaic as movies go, regardless the film is surprisingly good and it uses the formula really well. However it never aspires to be anything else preventing it from becoming a classic amongst the genre.

I haven't been familiar with the true story but from the start, you just know where it is all gonna go. It still works well but nothing is a surprise because of that. It still has some great moments and a fair amount of heart

It is seriously enjoyable and it is a likeable movie with a great cast. Kristen Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan are great here. I'm sure there are many people who will like this film. I just can't see that much greatness in it. It's formulaic and does it's best to be a lovely and charming film but it does it in such a manipulative way, and I hate it when films do that. It is still worth watching though

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.

This story lost all credibility for me when Crooks saluted the Brigadier using his left hand! What an incredible stuff-up, and apparently not one of the dozens and dozens of people involved noticed it. As an ex-squaddie, I certainly did.

This had everything going for it, concept, actors and a good story.

Badly let down by relatively minor details and poor delivery.

One jarring thing I found was a lack of attention to detail. A British captain saluting without a hat on (we don't do that) saluting American style (not Britsh salute) saluting with the wrong hand etc etc. All minor points. But if you can't get minor points right then you won't get the main story across.

Particularly jarring was using technology for the singing and very obviously. Could they not have made a cast of accomplished singers ?

Military accomodation was on the button (from my experience)

The dedication of the military and their families 'to the job' was missing. As was quite a rigid hierarchy/class structure.

Bumbling military stereo types and 'pork pie' berets were annoying.

If they had gone with a 'real' documentary style film it would have been a classic. Instead it was some weird military themed version of sister act meets calendar girls.

Missed the mark totally about real people , real families, real feelings.

Instead turned them into cardboard cutouts, 'Hollywood' impressions of the military and their families.

Very dissappointed - it was ok, watch once.

It could have been so much better and could have been a classic instead another addition to the huge and growing stack of mediocre films.
