'Don’t You Want Me,' 'Time After Time' and 'We Are Family' are among the hits sung by Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan in musical drama 'Military Wives.'
Combine the inherent pathos of a group of army spouses waiting for their partners to return from war with the sure-fire inspirational uplift of preparing for an important musical performance and you get the dependable-to-a-fault British film “Military Wives.”
Upon seeing their men deployed to Afghanistan, the women of Flitcroft Garrison have little choice but to bide their time with their nation’s trademark stiff upper lip. Most of the wives would be content to meet for coffee in the mornings and share alcohol in the evenings but after a failed attempt at a knitting club, Kate , the wife of a colonel , initiates the formation of a choir and meets more than a little resistance.
Kate engages in a battle of wills with Lisa , who reluctantly inherited a leadership role with her husband’s recent promotion. Lisa’s laidback, improvisational style clashes with Kate’s organized, patrician approach, but the pair gradually form an uneasy cross-class alliance as the other women realize how much they need the choir.
Sisterhood is forged amid the warbling of tunes made famous by the Human League, Cyndi Lauper and the Spice Girls, and the women learn they are “stronger together” . An unexpected invitation to perform at a nationally televised event at London’s Royal Albert Hall raises the stakes considerably and sets in motion the required obstacles. When tragedy inevitably strikes, the wives keep calm and carry on.
