After the untimely death of her husband, shy Joan (a part-time cleaner) has to make money fast to keep from losing her home. She asks Fred, her sleazy boss, if she can work more hours - but instead, he takes on sexy air-head, Sharon and fires Joan. Now, she's forced to resort to extreme measures to avoid her home being repossessed. Aided by Sharon, and her two friends/former work-mates (65 year-old eccentric Enid, and desperate Mavis), Joan becomes the Madame of a do-it-yourself co-operative brothel... A brothel with no sex!

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
bernice-50611 I bought this film last week and enjoyed it so much that I have watched it twice since. It's rare that there is a film about women doing their own thing and in control of their lives. What makes this movie so unusual is that it is so funny. I have not laughed this much in many many years. I still chuckle when I think of some of the scenes. I checked on IMDb and I cannot believe a man wrote this script. I'm not sure if it was at the cinema. If it was, I guessed I must have missed it which is a shame because I would've loved to see this with a big audience laughing along together. My husband watched it with me the second time around. He laughed more than me and even recommended it to our friends.
bethpfeldman Imagine a group of English women of various ages, looks and sizes all sharing one thing in common: a desperate need to make money. One of the women has an idea and the antics begin! Ian Vernon's hilarious script tells a beautiful story that is heartwarming with a refreshing twist. The ensemble is brilliant. There are no special effects here. The actors do it all!! I enjoyed the background music as it is well-suited to the comedic theme. I saw "Best Little Whorehouse in Rochdale" at the Palm Beach International Film Festival where it won the "Audience Favorite Award" in April 2012. It just won the San Diego International Film Festival's"Best Foreign Feature Award". "Best Little Whorehouse in Rochdale" is one of those superb foreign films that you want everyone you know to see. I can't wait to see it again!!
John Jackson We saw this film at the San Diego Film Fest. I wasn't expecting much but my partner wanted to see it. I'm glad she dragged me to it. This is a film full of humour and women's in jokes about men and sex. My partner laughed more than me (and I laughed a lot). This story had heart and that is not usual for most comedies. We cared what happened to these guys. The four lead actors were so endearing, and typically British. The girls auditioning to join the brothel was a joy to watch. My partner got hiccups she was laughing so much.Not enough "feel good" movies around but this is one of the good ones. We would see it again when it comes our way.
