If you loved A Lot Like Love, try Calendar Girls

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Calendar Girls has roughly 3.4× fewer votes than A Lot Like Love — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Nigel Cole, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Lot Like Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Calendar Girls is

Here's a film that dares to ask: what if nice older ladies got their kit off? A group of middle-aged women decide to pose nude for a calendar to raise money for a new hospital wing. It's not exactly _Last Tango in Halifax_, but it did make some money.
