One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Good start, but then it gets ruined

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

If you are entertained by a movie that is historically INCORRECT and is just this side of soft porn then by all means spend your time watching the film. You will learn nothing about World War 2 England, and certainly nothing about the moral standards to which English women adhered during that time of war. Whoever is responsible for this rot was out to apply the lax moral standards of today to a long ago but far more chaste period. I utterly detest movies that simply ignore the past for the sake of getting an R rating and in so doing hoping to get a larger audience. I lasted all of 15 minutes before I guess where this plot was going. You'd be far better off watching the Weather Channel. At least you'll get some useful information. Or play with your pet if you have one.

The main interesting points of the film are the beautiful English countryside and the three actresses -Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel... they're charming and witty, they're well together.The film instead is quite boring -the story is not so intriguing, honestly. Many actions are quite predictable, emotions go not very high. The director doesn't propose anything special, the film is formally correct but it misses something...It's a pity, because the period chosen for telling the story deserved a more accurate way of telling the facts.

Charming, nostalgic period piece, but this is basically a pretty meat and potatoes film which just about holds the attention. The three actresses in question, Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel are all three superb stage and film actresses, rather wasted on this lightweight stuff.The plot is predictable, the Dorset scenery is stunning. Worth seeing if you get off on 1940s period and/or English countryside of old. On to the next film.

I like World War II dramas particularly the ones that delve into the more obscure aspects. Many interesting character dramas have evolved, notably, Schindler's List, Memphis Belle, The Americanization of Emily, Tuskeegee Airmen, and Hiroshima. Even the bio pics: Patton, Truman, Eisenhower all provided interesting perspective for me, where I had none before.The idea that England had a Woman's Land Army in WWII, whereby women went to take over farm chores as the men have gone off to war, sounds interesting. Women of all shapes and sizes, and backgrounds banding together for the common good, yep, it definitely has possibilities.Now add Catherine McCormack in the lead, a woman who has the opportunity over the next few years to surpass Michelle Pfeiffer, as the beautiful woman who CAN act, throw in stunning period locations and costumes, and Land Girls should not fail.But fail it does.The story of these three women (McCormack, Rachel Weisz, Anna Friel) is limp and un-centered, where, by comparison, The Tuskeegee Airmen is driving and informative.Pass on this mess, and if you want to see more of Catherine McCormack (aside from Braveheart) choose Dangerous Beauty instead.
