Mrs. Henderson Presents
Starring: Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins Directed by: Stephen Frears Rated R Synopsis: Based on the true story of a recent widow Mrs. Laura Henderson buying a theater to occupy her time during World War II and the tribulations and triumphs of the Windmill Theater in London. And the story of how she raised the spirits (and other things) of soldiers during this difficult time. My Thoughts: This movie was absolutely golden. And very tasteful, even when there is nudity. Scorecard: Acting: Judi Dench did a great job. I have not seen her in too many movies, but I really enjoyed her acting. Bob Hoskins also did a really good job. They both had very good chemistry together, and the movie just clicked right. (1) Direction: Since this was based on a true story, it is kind of hard to screw up on the direction of the movie, that is unless you are Michael Bay making a movie about a certain bombing of a certain harbor in Hawaii. The direction of this movie was excellent, having not seen too many of Stephen Frears movies, I was very satisfied with it. (1) Story: Like I said above, its based on a true story, so it really should have been written well, and it was. I really didn't have that many complaints about the movie, other than a few very slow spots. (1) Expectations: This movie looked decent enough when I saw previews for it, but it really turned out to be so much more than that. (1) Boring?: This movie was 105 minutes long (give or take a couple of minutes), and at some parts, it really seemed like it was longer. This is the section that always seems to hurt movies. (1/2) Final Score: 4 1/2 out of 5 Final Thoughts: This movie was a real joy to watch. Dench and Hoskins did great jobs in their respective roles, the story was right on, the writing was dead on, even with some quaint and very subtle jokes, this movie has one of my highest recommendations.
