there's nothing here you won't have seen before or can't see coming but still, "Military Wives" is a film that's hard to entirely resist, like a song that you'll hum along to even if you forget the tune straight after
it may be singing rather than stripping but the personal stakes and heightened emotions along the way are just as touching; The finger-snapping, toe-tapping music is the final element in an easy to love populist delight
it gives the audience a tidy two-hour crowd-pleaser designed to squeeze out a few tears; Peter Cattaneo, could conduct this kind of charming, predictable entertainment with one hand while the theater hums along
corny but infectiously catchy; Peter Cattaneo's latest, the eminently entertaining "Military Wives", has every chance of resurrecting the British director's stock again
