Everyone remembers the years of their childhood where you went feral over a band. Heck, you might still be in those years! Well, whether it was One Direction, Spice Girls or maybe even Take That, if you want to take a trip down memory lane, there is a movie coming out for you this month. And there are some great comedians in the Take That film too.
What Is Greatest Day About?
Adapted from the stage show, The Band, Greatest Days follows four former schoolgirls whose lives changed when they saw their favourite band in concert. They then reunite some 25 years later and reminisce about the old days while bonding over how they are trying to navigate adulthood.
It is linked to Take That, as the executive producers are our very own Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald.
In a statement about the film, Take That said, “Greatest Days is a film dedicated to all those who have supported us throughout the years. It puts a mirror on our audience, it’s a celebration of our music but it’s literally all about the fans and their friendships.”
