Such a great movie! Hilarious in parts, and certainly one women everywhere can relate to. I loved Marjorie, the Concord Hostess, in particular.
Shirley is a good person who has, despite her claims to the contrary, always done what is expected of women, in England and everywhere else. Somewhere along the way she lost herself, and this film is about her adventures in finding that lost treasure.
One thing I like about Shirley Valentine is that it does not make anybody the "bad guy." Shirley's husband is a person who has his own lost dreams and he isn't cast as the villain.
This is a wonderful film for any female who dreams of a ride on,"My brother's boat."
