Taken at face value, David Leland's The Land Girls has all the makings of a great soft-porn movie. As World War II stretches England's resources to the limit, three attractive young women (Rachel Weisz, Catherine McCormack, and Anna Friel) with varying degrees of sexual experience (mild, medium, and spicy, respectively) volunteer at a farm to help boost the nation's food supply. Each woman subsequently takes a turn seducing the only young man in town, the farmer's virile son (played with the right degree of shyness by Steven Mackintosh), whose weak heart keeps him from fighting but doesn't hinder his prodigious lovemaking talents. Oh, how ribald! Fortunately for the film, the three leads are charismatic and capable, the rural meadows literally glimmer with bucolic bliss, and Leland adapts Angela Huth's novel with humor and more than a little heart. The Land Girls is light entertainment, to be sure, but its spunky attitude and bittersweet conclusion help make it worth your time.
