Mrs. Henderson Presents

This is not a sneak preview. This movie has already released.

Based on a true story, Dame Judith Dench plays a rich eccentric widow looking for a hobby after her husband's death. She gives up on embroidery and charity work, but finally decides to buy a rundown theater in London’s West End. Bob Hoskins is hired as the theater manager. After some initial success with continuous vaudeville shows, the theater attendance declines. To save the theater, nudity is added to the revue show to boost attendance, but then Hitler happens. It’s a charming story about these theater people struggling to make ends during difficult times. Rated “R” for some language and full frontal nudity, but it is tactfully handled.

Alien gives it 2 ½ “V for Victory” stars out of 4.
