I didn't especially like the truly sterile stage musical and sadly I can't really exude about this either. It all centres around four ladies who win a competition to go and see a Take That reunion concert. The girls have become estranged over the years, but this prize offers them a chance to reunite. Initially it all goes fine - each has gone on to varying degrees of success and happiness in adult life - but after a few largely predictable escapades the fault lines soon start to appear and the inevitable tragedy from their past rears it's ugly head to contextualise their drifting apart and their present, somewhat strained, relationship. The songs themselves were never my favourite either - I always found Gary Barlow's voice to be a bit nasal and toneless - and here they are performed to some extremely precise (and not very natural) choreography by five lads who resemble the original band not a jot. Die hard fans will probably love this, and it does remind you of just how many hits this band had in their relatively short career - but for me, this film was all just a bit too formulaic with an ending that reminded me of the far superior ensemble effort that was Leslie Bricusse's "Scrooge" (1970).
