Lots of A list actors. A little unrealistic. Start your own clothes designs and Saks wants to buy them? A friend writes a best seller on her first try? I guess the movie is OK to watch if you don't think too much.
Meg Ryan, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith

Loved it! It is exactly the type of movie that I really get into. All of the lead actresses were great, especially Meg Ryan. Cute story and it's pretty damn funny too.

The Women starring a very good cast is a good film overall...not as good as the original from MGM in 1939 at all. If you want to see the best watch the original starring Norma Shearer and Joan Craford.

I liked it. This movie was pretty funny. I thought it was hilarious that we never got to see Stephen and find out if he was good looking. Because you know we would skew our thoughts on him if we could.
A lot of great actresses in this movie.
Good to watch on a night when it's j...( read more) -

If you cut out all the realism in the movie, don't think too much and just watch the whole social bits, it's not as bad as the reviews make it out to be. I thought it was quite funny. It was painful watching the movie without a single man in shot and there's a couple of Dove mome...( read more)

This movie was awful. It was poorly constructed, and the plot was incredibly stupid. I'm thinking that the movie wants to say that all women are vapid and shallow like the Mary-Sues in this film, and I find that sad. We need to renounce stereotypes instead of embracing them - com...( read more)
Critic Reviews
Nothing more, but nothing less than just hilarious flat-out fun that manages to top 'Sex And The City' in every way imaginable. full review
Though aspects of the 1939 comedy seem silly and shrill now, they were at least consistently entertaining. Where the original was deliciously loopy and melodramatic fun, this one is watered-down, sapp... full review
Fourteen years in the making, The Women marks a serviceable directorial debut for English. full review
It hurts especially to watch Ms. Bening and Candice Bergen (who plays Mary's mother) lend their wit and dignity to a project that has so little of its own. full review
What a pleasure this movie is, showcasing actresses I've admired for a long time, all at the top of their form. full review
The Women has a cast to die for - Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Candice Bergen, Carrie Fisher - in a film that dies before our eyes. full review
A big-name cast of actresses gives it a go, but everyone from Meg Ryan as the cheated-on wife to Eva Mendes as the home-wrecking perfume girl struggles with a script that resists being crowbarred into... full review
This new version of The Women fails to celebrate its characters as women. full review
