A fine recreation of the major historic step for equal pay for women. Dramatic but with plenty of laughs in the workplace and the biased tradition of different levels politics. Also a glimpse at the class differences in modern 1968 England and the soundtrack instantly took me back to when I was 20. This should be mandatory watching for management till they really understand it. Also mandatory watching for the rest of us to remind us that fighting for a cause is difficult but can succeed. Very well written and acted, I see a lot of movies and most need more spend on shortcomings in the story/script and less on overpaid actors, I really could not find fault in "Made In Dagenham".

Not a great film but a consistently good production and lots of laughs/chuckles throughout. Yes it's a low-budget movie, but I see many Hollywood mega-dollar productions with horrible scripts and results, the results here are A+. A good all-round production so my congratulations to the writers, actors, production staff and financiers - a job well done by all. Australia needs lots of productions like this. Hollywood would add 100 instances of bad language, 4 or 5 nude shots and some sex scenes but could not improve on what has been achieved in South Australia. You will not see many recognisable faces in the cast but if they produce something like this every year they all get my vote. I hope their distributor goes for more outlets and get a reasonable distribution when DVD time comes. The base for any movie is a good script not Hollywood mega-stars this movie has everything you could want except the mega-stars. I cannot recommend this too highly go and see it. Oops I forgot the excellent soundtrack, well done to the orchestra.

Forget the critics. This may not be greatest acting/script/etc but it is entertaining. I saw it at an 80% full session and the adults out-laughed the kids. I'm glad I went. Many small details for those like me who remember 1958. I have to admit that I like Jason Leee and he does a reasonable effort without being excessively silly. Ian played David Cross is a little over the top but this was acceptable to the adults and made it very easy for the youngest kids to understand. The animation of the Chipmunks was great, OK they did not look like real chipmunks but they did not look cartoonish like in Roger Rabbit. The story was reasonable and provided lots of laughs throughout which many 'A' grade comedies fail to do. In conclusion a 'B' grade family move which succeeds 100%'
