The Land Girls (1998)

agree with user-William James Harper, but it's beyond morality..a ridiculous movie about 3 girls of different backgrounds and characters working at a farm in WWII. Prue is "easy" or slutty, Stella seems strong opinionated,Ag is a virgin..however they all "in love" with Joe.. there are lots of ridicules but 3 scenes for each woman to be presented here1,prue scene.... when her newly wedded husband dies, she cries like he is her first love or they are loving couple for many years and tested by time .. but we all see her sleeps with at least 3 guys in the movies..what's more, she is extremely cheap,even a very sluttish prostitute has something reserved . I never see anyone like that in movies or real life.and, would any decent guy marry her?? a woman with very bad fame plus lack of basic self control. and really shameless, not by sex or morality,just by common sense of human behavior!2,Ag scene, a virgin asks a man to have sex with her ,because she wants some experience before marriage,(also remember she has already met her future husband and promised)..well, if she could do such a thing, why could she be a virgin in the first place 3, Stella scene, a minor one, a woman kisses a man, after telling him she loves another man who is her Fiancéenough? I haven't mentioned others, too many..the whole place is worse than brothel.it's supposed to be a film about normal young working women in WWII, but there are 20+ words like "sex", "sleep with" in it..I remember I watched a porn movie when I was a kid, there is a scene a woman is showing her jealousy and anger over her lover's betrayal and sleeping with another woman. so, i reckon even porno makers know some minimum dignity and esteem of women?? like movies about women in war? watch french movie "a french woman" instead..this movie shows the stupidity , clumsy, also pretension of the Brits,pathetic..greatest shame I have ever known for the Brits,pity Britain are getting worse today.but what's unbearably disgusting now is they are trying to defame its past.. having ruined today isn't enough, ah?

Whenver I think of women on the home-front during WWII, I picture them in factories taking the place of the men who went to fight. I never really thought that someone had to keep the farms going to feed the people.Over 30,000 women left the cities in England to form the Land Army and milk the cows and plow the fields while the boys were gone off to fight the Germans.Having said that, this was basically a Lifetime movie with a couple of laughs. The funniest part was when Ag (Rachel Weisz) decided to lose her virginity.It was good for a story about the effects of the war on peoples lives, especially their love lives, but there just wasn't a lot there.Besides Weisz, there was Catherine McCormack (28 Weeks Later) and Anna Friel, who had a bigger WWII role in The War Bride. Of course, we also have to mention Lucy Akhurst, who was a zombie in Shaun of the Dead.Recommended for Lifetime fans.

I first saw this movie on cable with my significant other, and though I usually dread this type of film, I found myself drawn to the simple yet enjoyable plot. The love story between Stella and Joe was well done; slow, almost arduous, yet it seemed never to lag, and I felt very attached this movie and its cast. It's just one of those movies that really isn't much to look at or think about, but leaves you with an extremely -- well -- pleasant feeling. Casting was brilliant, and some of the cinematography took great advantage of the beautiful English countryside.

Here's an engaging marriage of the tremendous "Cold Comfort Farm" and that awful Italian "hired hand beds three sisters on a farm" film [whose name escapes me, which is a good thing].This is an always~interesting character study of three radically different young British women who, during the early stages of WWII, join England's "Women's Land Army" ~ a war effort which had women working fields in order to cultivate more crops for food for the troops.The trio lands in a rural farm, essentially because the farm's frequently~irrascible patriarch's randy son is about to join the RAF.Said "joining" is continually postponed by the son for various reasons ~ all of which involve women, and several of which rotate around the "Land girls."Sure, some of the material is derivative (what isn't, at this point in cinematic history?)But the performances are perfect: the only scenery~chewing you'll see here is by the scenery itself ~ lush landscapes of meadows, earthy shots of the work at hand, terrific [and appropriate at all times] cinematography.Cool reference to "Streetcar" leaps off the screen at a pivotal point in the film.Nice wrap~up as well. I stumbled across this on cable and was amazed that this didn't come through the Detroit suburban area...Now it's time for you to stumble upon it. You'll not regret the rental.
