Here's the question: Would a group of women needing a reason to get together for some laughs and tears get something out of this movie? More likely than not, they would. It was fun to watch. Yes, it was broadcast in... Full review

I Loved this movie. There were so many beautiful actresses in the film both young and gorgeously mature. I thought that these women really touched upon what it is to be "Woman". I didn't even realize there weren't any men in... Full review

First of all, I understand that it wasn't as good as the original in may people's opinions, yet this movie was fantastic! A very classy, stylish, open-minded, and an incandescent view of the (smart) modern women.. It was far from being... Full review

This movie was horrible for one reason and one reason only. These ladies, while all individually seem to be interesting, intelligent and real, had no chemistry as friends. It is no different than a romance movie and I just couldn't see... Full review

Critics Reviews

Instead it focuses too much on rather trivial aspects such as the casting, which is all well and good, but it again doesn't do anything to back up the movie as a whole.
There is a seventy-year difference between the time playwright Anita Loos penned the original script and when Diane English decided to adapt it so, naturally, there are obstacles to overcome.

English makes the classic screenwriting mistake of never choosing a tone, leaving "The Women" in-between screwball comedy and realism, neither funny nor genuine.
As for special features, "The Women" includes a few deleted scenes and two featurettes - "The Women Behind the Women" and "The Women: The Legacy".

Nothing about The Women succeeds, unfortunately.
Legacy" looks at the roots of the original Women production as well as its modern adaptation, cast and performances, and challenges involved with the remake.

The Women-The Legacy' takes a look at the play and original film and offers a few interesting anecdotes - Mick Jagger is executive producer?!!
Not a film that screams to be seen in high-def, 'The Women's' 1.85:1 1080p VC1 transfer is perfectly fine with nice detail, color and contrast but nothing flashy or justifying a higher price for high-def.

there's no escaping the mediocrity of this picture regardless of what chromosomes you're sporting.....walk away with the best scenes particularly Bergen as Ryan's proud but worn-down mother and Leachman as Mary's wily, sarcastic maid.....But all the female talent in the world couldn't do much to raise the stale script from 'Murphy Brown' creator Diane English above merely passable..... ...
