Synopsis
Three 40-something women in a small English town meet weekly for a ritual of gin, cigarettes, and sweets -- and swapped stories arguing which of them has the most pathetic love life. Kate (Andie MacDowell) is headmistress at the local school; her best friends are the town's police chief (Imelda Staunton) and a cynical, thrice-divorced doctor (Anna Chancellor). When Kate begins a fling with a handsome younger man (Kenny Doughty), less worldly than her friends but passionate and sincere, the other women can't simply be happy for the couple's unusual new romance. In jealousy they promptly take it upon themselves to break up the pair, taking drastic measures which result in unintended outcomes, some happy and some tragic.
Critics' reviews
- "There aren't many movies that deal with middle-aged women, and this one manages to do so with a fair amount of wit and heart."
- Despite some jaunty performances and its pretty Cotswolds locale, the film, in the end, is hardly a pleasure at all"
- "A surprising and delightful romantic take on modern women."
- "The kind of movie that gives 'chick flicks' a bad reputation"
