A briskly cheerful film from the director of The Full Monty.

Military Wives review

Left back at base while their partners are away on a tour in Afghanistan, a group of women cheer themselves up by forming a choir. A borderline disastrous enterprise at first, they gradually improve and find themselves becoming a media sensation.
