The Women

I watched this movie with my wife. I was hoping a classy and stylish portrail of today’s modern women, instead I watched two hours of crap. Meg is not ‘perky and darling’ any more – she should play her age. Eva... Full review

This was just an awful movie. Me and my freinds were fighting sleep to get through it. The characters acting was unbelievable. I am not convinced they were freinds of any kind. The woman who played the housekeeper ( I can't... Full review

Let's call this what it is -- a chick flick. I think it's a good one. Great fashion, friends, and hilarious lines (especially from Annette Benning and Candice Bergen). It's definitely cheesy in parts (Meg Ryan's business awakening) but also very... Full review

I was so looking forward to seeing this movie! But I was disappointed. It was wonderful to see that they kept the same concept of an all woman cast. Believe me, I searched for a man in the background and was... Full review

I thought it was a fantastic movie. I have friends like that. Mostly Red Hatters. I have no idea what the critics were talking about. I guess if it doesn't have blood, gore and drugs in the movie it's not Oscar... Full review

I gave it an honest effort, but seriously why on earth would anyone mess with perfection by doing such a low brow remake? This crap is why all men think that women are so easily fooled and desperate for "chick flicks"... Full review

I am a girl and I obviously love female empowerment and all of that, but I am also a purist when it comes to remakes of classic movies. And this remake just doesn't deliver. For anyone who has never seen the... Full review

The Women is partially salvaged from being endlessly offensive, as the witty and warm ensemble chemistry of these actresses kicks in. Originally conceived in the midst of the Great Depression as typical escapist fare back then, which giddily embraced the affluent upper classes as temporary quick fix amnesia against mass economic despair, this new and not improved The Women dabbles in an exclusively perky female milieu of smart and sassy, if also frivolously inclined backtalk babes. ...

There's little in the way of narrative momentum, which would not matter as much if the acting and dialogue were stronger. It's certainly pleasing to see Meg Ryan back in a comfortable lead role. Annette Bening is Mary's best friend, Sylvie ... Full Review

Messing is wasted until the final childbirth scene, when she reveals her flair for physical comedy. Its impossible to understand how the four main characters Ryan, Bening, Debra Messing (as a housewife with a brood of kids) and Jada Pinkett Smith (as a haughty lesbian columnist) ever became friends. ...

The Women wasn't by any means a great movie, but it had a polished acid vibrance and, for all its over-the-top chatter, an elegantly simple story. The movie is a feminist lesson instead of what it should have been (and once was): a tough, synthetic, high-gloss entertainment that wears its heart on its lacquered fingernails. ... Full Review

After a shaky start, English points her heat-seeking entertainment missile directly at the romantic heart of her target audience. Foolishly, if understandably, the woman scorned will have her revenge, even if it screws up her own tween-aged daughter, well played by newcomer India Ennenga. ... Full Review
