Review:

Tim: This isn't exactly the type of film that stays with you long after you watch it. It is fairly entertaining, but after it is over, it is difficult to recall much of it at all. In many ways, this is a pretty little movie that tells its story boldly. It isn't too deep or too complex, and there is something quaint and enjoyable about this simple, straightforward movie.

The cast is decent. It is fun to see Rachel Weisz and Paul Bettany in smaller supporting roles. Catherine McCormack does a fairly good job as well.

The Land Girls is an interesting little film, but doesn't have much of an impact on us. If you happen to stumble across this difficult-to-find film, you might enjoy it, but I wouldn't spend much time trying to track it down- it is not worth that much effort.
