Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

phyllisknox To see women actors of such talent and achievement in such a truly awful film was such a heartbreaker. That these women agreed to do some misogynistic amateurish no-brain sitcom was appalling. I hope the were all paid well. As far as seeing it, here is what showed up for me, a silly, trite, sexist, elitist, shallow and downright stupid film. Oh gawd, The Women puts back women to a time that has never even existed! eeeeyikes!

dierregi This is definitely no masterpiece, but such a low rating indicates that probably the vast majority of IMDb reviewers are young, male and/or misogynists (or all). Even Suicide Squad and the Transformers movies have higher ratings and for sure they are no better movies, unless you are into senseless violence, overblown CGI and paper thin characters.The two main problems of this remake are product placement and too much political correctness. The original was a great idea, because women were (are?) so marginal in society that a movie without a single man in sight must have seemed a real challenge.For hundreds of movies with an all-male cast (think about all those war and prison movies…) showing how women exist without a man in sight is still peculiar. In this version, not only they exist but they also manage to make a living on their own.Annette Bening is the strongest character of the cast, as Sylvie, a sophisticated editor who's best friend with Meg Ryan's Mary. Mary is a much more conventional character. Having discovered that her husband cheats on her, Mary goes from partially employed/rich socialite to successful business woman far too quickly.Their other two friends are irrelevant and are in this only to add a taste of "Sex & the City". Messing is Edie, a full time mother who stands for "women should be free to choose whatever they want, even staying-at-home mums are OK" and Pinkett-Smith is lesbian Alex, who stands for "everything else is OK, too".Elderly ladies have Bergen (Mary's mother) and Leachman (Mary's housekeeper) to prove they can still hold their own. Teenage angst is embodied by Mary's daughter and Mendes is temptress Crystal, doing nothing more than shaking her booty and completing the cast for all the Latinos. Only an oriental lady is missing to check all the boxes for the politically correct police.Most memorable in the movie are opulent interiors and beautiful clothes/accessories. Bening does an impressive job, also because lately she seems to appear only in unsophisticated roles - but a bit of comedy and stylish clothes do her good.The final scene, with Messing giving birth, drags on forever. It is a cliché giving-birth, with way too much shouting – which definitely did not help with wrapping up the story, even if it introduced for a few seconds the only male (luckily we're spared sight of his thingy).

lpgal9000 So many female stereotypes! Ugh. Please don't even bother watching this movie. Just because it has an all female cast does NOT mean it's a female empowering film... it's far from it. It gave me a headache.There are a few scenes I just hate. The whole film is full of gossip of each other.. I get when people gossip about strangers, but friends gossiping about friends? Not cool... Going to the perfume store ugh.. to confront the woman "stealing" their friend's husband... uhm hello? You confront your good for nothing cheating husband, not girl number 2! That's like saying it's not your husband's fault because it's always the woman's fault... STOP with that... it takes two to tango... (i know she gets divorced later but still). I don't know... maybe this is how high society females are... no wonder we love making fun of these air heads... but it's not enjoyable like Legally Blonde.. in fact it's not even a comedy... or is it? It did NOT feel like one otherwise I could let this all go...

SnoopyStyle Mary Haines (Meg Ryan) has a big luncheon for all the high society women and her friends. Her husband cheats on her with Saks salesgirl Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), and her friend Sylvie Fowler (Annette Bening) knows it. Her world falls into chaos when she finds out, and the affair continues.This is a remake of the 1939 movie made from a play. There are only female actors and female characters in the movie. I guess it's suppose to make a statement, but whatever statement it made in 1939, it no longer makes today. The dialog has a lot of superficiality in it, and the characters are stereotypes. It's all very 'Sex in the City', and it does not start off well. The problem is that when something actually happens, the seriousness is lost.Haines finding out about the affair could have been a very compelling story. It's nothing ground breaking, but going through it without a male character in sight is interesting. Her teen girl could be a great avenue for an emotional story. But it is all very fake. It's all very weak. It's not daring enough. Director Diane English has made a big screen unfunny sitcom with some pretty good actresses.
