Review of Mrs. Henderson Presents (2005) by Bts. — 07 Feb 2006
Dench is fabulous. Hoskins is wonderful. Guest nearly, but not quite, steals his scenes from Dench. The nude women are lovely to look at. Will Young sings nicely. Musical numbers, Goody Goody and Babies of the Blitz had me bouncing in my seat.
Even the opening credits are terrific fun. The precariousness of life lived in a war zone is demonstrated but this last part of the story felt rushed, as if the writer looked at his watch and realized he had only 23 minutes in which to cram 45 minutes of story.
Otherwise, it was an altogether funny and touching movie and Judi Dench is fabulous. I can't think of the last time I left a movie theater feeling happy I'd been there.
