Shirley is Lovely
This is one of the most wonderful stories of self actualization I have ever sen. It has humor, love, resentment, anger, regret, sadnesss, and finally redemption. Although many would consider this a "chick-flick", I think there is a lesson forus husbands too...keep the relationship alive and listen to your partener, she is far more complex than you realize. Relationships drift apart from lack of communication, so talk to eachother. That is the ultimate lesson of this heartwarming movie.

.Women, listen up!
For women of all ages, but most certainly for middle-aged and above, who have been or are married. You know when you're reading a good book or talking to a good friend and they just "get" everything you're feeling? There's hardly a better moment than that. Shirley Valentine is a keeper movie to pass among female friends and family. Men can watch, of course, but they're not likely to "get" it. Love it, love it, love it.

Delight to the funny bone and the eyes
This is a wonderous comedic romp with Pauline Collins as a put-upon British housewife who's just had enough. Her husband barely notices her, her children take her services for granted and the rainy, English climate just gets to be too much.
Her salvation is a chance to go on a holiday with a girlfriend to Greece with all its spectacular scenery!
She tells her husband she's going, and though he protests (he really doesn't believe her), off she goes to the sun, sand and the azure waters of the Mediterranean! Her vacation winds up being even better than she dreamed and when the time comes, will she go back? Should she go back?
Watch and see & be delighted at the lovely ending...or is it a beginning?

DVD: Shirley Valentine
Excellent flick. Ordering this favorite DVD at a very good price with excellent delivery service - how could I have gone wrong?! This was a great choice of transactions.

great movie about getting the most out of life
Light hearted look at middle class ennui and a bright way out for the imaginative. A good lesson for us all. Enjoy it all the way and enjoy this movie. It really is 4+ for me, not just a plain 4. Pauline Collins was terrific. It feels as if you are her best friend and she is guiding you through her life. Oh heck, give it a 5.
