'Military Wives,' about a choir of soldiers' spouses, is full of clichés, says Peter Travers. But it's sweet, so who cares? Our review
For activities, Kate suggests readings of the classics or studying the art of cinema auteurs while Lisa prefers potluck parties and pub crawls. When a choir is decided on, the women revolt against Kate’s lofty hymns and gravitate toward Lisa’s taste for the Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” and Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time.” One guess who wins. The choristers are a ragtag group with participants awkwardly feeling their way into unison.
Cattaneo’s job is to get the women to London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall where the Military Wives Choir has been chosen to compete at the Festival of Remembrance with a new song Lisa has composed from letters sent home by the men. Kate objects to Lisa using her private to “fill a gap in your crass, sentimental ballad.” And Lisa lashes out at Kate for having “a husband who’d rather go to war than stay home with you.
