Movie Info
Feeling trapped in a world of domesticity, Shirley (Pauline Collins), a housewife from Liverpool, England, needs a change in her life before she has another conversation with the walls. When her friend Jane (Alison Steadman) invites her on a trip to a Greek island, Shirley jumps at the chance. Upon landing, Jane ditches Shirley for a fling, which means Shirley is left to her own devices. Shirley wanders the island, meets a taverna owner (Tom Conti) and begins to find the joy in life again.

Just a tad bit too silly. Your mom will love Pauline Collins. The rest of the audience, perhaps not. Non offensive..in a dull sort of way.

Severely dated, but its power is time immemorial. Familiar, funny, realistic and Pauline Collins is mesmerising.
-
Adorable Brit flick,an essence of liberality and traveling to the distance...well,on that occasion,Greece!I must point out it's a better affiliation to the island way of life concerning random puns like other Big Fat Greek Weddings do (excluding the non-usage of Greek actors,pity),Collins is tremendous in her fancy persona,bringing a romantic comedy to where it truly belongs: to the underdogs.

Caught this old favorite yesterday on TV and what a pleasure to see it again. Shirley magnificently throws off the roles inflicted upon her by society and embarks on a two week holiday in Greece. She rediscovers herself and finds liberation and romance. Quite possibly one of the few "chick flicks" that I have enjoyed.
