This sexed-up version of events that led to the Equal Acts Payment to pass through the UK Parliament in 1970 is neither funny, nor inspiring. The team that brought you Calendar Girls is responsible for this mess. Nigel Cole's camera couldn't be less boring and Billy Ivory's script ticks as many cliches as it can for a stuttering 2 hours. Sally Hawkins and a criminally underused Richard Schiff are the only things that are really worth anyone's attention.
