American Woman Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
S M I had much higher hopes for this show, but each episode has left me disappointed. In short, they've all fallen flat. There's no substance. Although I love Alicia Silverstone, I'm not rooting for her character, because she isn't likable. It feels like each episode was written by someone who's out of touch with what it means to be an "American Woman." This is a woman of privilege. If she can't afford the mortgage on her mansion, how 'bout moving to a cheaper house? Otherwise, why are we supposed to empathize? Most American women will never relate to this. Also, is it just me, or is Alicia Silverstone's delivery too pedantic and slow? Has she always spoken this way, or is it supposed to reflect the character's background? I can't recommend this show, which is sad because I love all of these actors. I hope to see them all again, somewhere else.
Blue_Jay_Way The result of a divorce for the main character in this TV series is that she becomes a prostitute. So apparently, the producers think that prostitutes are what exemplifies an American Woman. The character runs an escort service for all her friends, who are also American women who become prostitutes. There is a nasty political message here. The show itself is pretty awful. The acting is one dimensional. I do not think anyone in the cast expects to be working on this series very long. I watched it for about ten minutes, and realized it was worthless and a waste of time.
ian-864 It's telling that I turned to my wife and said "I get the impression this show about the 70s was written by someone who didn't experience it" and the first review I saw said exactly the same thing. I don't remember 70s women being anything like as oppressed as the characters in this show. On the contrary, there were iconic strong women role models. Charlie's Angels, The Bionic Woman even the Fall Guy for goodness sake, had women equal or better than their male co-stars, kicking ass and taking names.OK so that's just TV, but this show portrays men having a disdain for women that just isn't accurate. Feminism was alive and well in the 70s but without the anti-men slant that it has now.So in summary, I felt the show wanted to push an agenda rather than take me back in time to watch a slice of someone's life. The acting was ok, but given the experience of the actors, that's disappointing. They are capable of much more.I think I'm out.
icanbeaghost I was really excited for this show when I first heard about it and saw the trailer. The premier was decent but I feel like it has fallen flat on its face, even after only two episodes. The premise is unique enough, and I usually always enjoy shows or films that tackle women's liberation, especially from an era before our own. But sadly, American Woman is just that- sad. The acting leaves much to be desired, the pace is too slow and despite its handful of semi charming moments, it quite frankly doesn't hold my interest. I will probably keep watching to see if it improves as it goes along but I am not optimistic. Perhaps if they gave Mena Suvari (whom I adore) more screen time I might feel differently, although she alone probably could not redeem the credibility of this hot mess. If the production team were a little league baseball team, I'd present them with a lame participation trophy and then call it a night.
