For fans of some of America's finest actresses, seeing a film with even one of the cast members of The Women would be a treat. But this remake of George Cukor's famed girl-trouble ensemble film features Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett Smith, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Cloris Leachman, Bette Midler, Carrie Fisher, Joanna Gleason, and Candice Bergen--whew!--making it a film that fans of these terrifically talented women can savor. The remake may not have the cat-itude or camp factor of the original, but so what? The cast's chemistry really shines; friendship is thicker than water, it turns out--even stronger than the ties that bind women to their men. Ryan is the good-girl Mary Haines, whose husband, she and her friends learn, is cheating on her with the stunning femme fatale Crystal (Mendes, in the Joan Crawford role)--"a spritzer" at the perfume counter. Quelle horreur! The other women rally around the hapless Mary, staging interventions, offering snappy advice, and plotting battles on behalf of their friend. But it turns out that Ryan's Mary isn't quite as fragile as she seems. Gimlets and girl talk--lots of both--go a long way toward getting our heroine through her crisis, and onto a new stage in her life that surprises her husband and more than one of her pals. And the laughs by the appearances of Midler and Bergen, especially, are worth watching the whole film for. --A.T. Hurley

I already love the movie because it has Jada Pinkett in it and she is my favorite, although she is not seen throughtout the movie like the other cast members. This movie is a type of laid back movie that anyone can watch. It's not soft enough to be considered a chick flick, and certainly not hard enough to the point where all the boyz want to go and see it. I love the movie. It's comedy sure enough...I bought it used through Amazon and it arrived in 4 days of my ordering it.

Well, with this terrific cast, I had my hopes up, the bad reviews notwithstanding, but boy, was I wrong. What a disaster from start to finish, with very contrived dialogue, poor direction and the actors looking like they were struggling to make the best of bad material. I was shocked that Diane English, a very talented and funny writer was behind this travesty. Definitely a waste of time - skip it!

Diane English picked up and rearranged the missing pieces of the romantic comedy genre, based on the multidimensional affective feminine universe. But smartly she focuses her whole attention around seven well defined characters; the first three are of course Meg Ryan as the devoted wife always trying to shine as human being. But living into a happy bubble (living in a beautiful home at Connecticut, married with a successful executive and supported by her best friend (Annette Bening) - the second ... Read More

What a waste of great talent to be in a movie like this,and what the hell happened to Meg Ryan? She was always so cute and pretty,now her face is so botox abused,it hardly moves.My Sister saw "The Women" at the theather when it came out last year,and half the audience was asleep,and the other half left before the film was over.If you want to get rid of your in laws this holiday season,put "THe Women" on your blue ray DVD player.

The Bottom Line:
It's not only the lack of any actor with a Y chromosome that makes The Women feel like it should be airing on the Lifetime network: between the ham-handed direction, weak writing, and superfluity of characters in a short film, The Women is a featherlight comedy that might be the type of film to watch on an airplane but that's about the best recommendation I can muster.
