The main interesting points of the film are the beautiful English countryside and the three actresses -Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel... they're charming and witty, they're well together.The film instead is quite boring -the story is not so intriguing, honestly. Many actions are quite predictable, emotions go not very high. The director doesn't propose anything special, the film is formally correct but it misses something...It's a pity, because the period chosen for telling the story deserved a more accurate way of telling the facts.

This somewhat tepid and quiet film follows three women from three different places, both socially and geographically, to a Dorset farm to work while the men who tend it go to fight in WWII. They gain each other's trust and experience the joy and pains of love.McCormack (Braveheart) and Weisz (The Mummy) do well, but they both are wasted on a film only slightly better than dull.

The plot is very realistic, the activities fun to watch, the ending hard to guess. Typical British film with hard to follow accents, bawdy behavior, average camera work. Overall a nice way to kill an hour or two.

I found the movie to be a well-acted warm, personal story of three women and the English farming family that they work for as members of the Ladies' Land Army during World War II. However, at times it makes chronological leaps without much warning and it may take a few minutes to figure out exactly what has happened and what the new season is or how much time has elapsed.It was a very interesting insight into a period of England and the life-circumstances of the country in early World War II. At times though, I had a difficult time distinguishing the subtle English accents and found myself backing up to attempt to re-hear what had been said. Sometimes I still couldn't make sense of the accent, and I'm not referring to the usual colloquial British terms that are at times foreign to Americans, although the movie is full of those as well, which adds a very quaint touch.All in all, it was a sort of feel-good movie that possibly could have had a little more punch in the ending. I was left with the feeling that it was a nice experience emotionally and educationally, but which falls a bit short of some movies of the genre, more so probably because of the production.
