  • Starring: Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan
  • Summary: The Women is a comedy about contemporary womanhood and the power of female relationships. Based on George Cukor’s 1939 film and Clare Boothe Luce’s 1936 stage play, The Women whisks us into a busy pocket of Manhattan society, where the publishing, fashion and finance industries play. At the center of the tale is Mary Haines, a thoroughly modern woman suddenly confronted with an age-old dilemma: a cheating husband. The ladies in her life swiftly rally to Mary’s side, led by her best friend, Sylvie Fowler, a dynamic magazine editor. But when Sylvie betrays Mary in a Faustian bargain, the entire group is shaken to the core – and two women face the most painful breakup of all - their friendship. (Picturehouse)… Expand

    As a well-crafted, well-written and well-acted entertainment, it drew me in and got its job done.

    It's a high-powered cast, but it has painfully little to work with, apart from widely varying humor.

    It was a great premise. Taking some great current talent and putting them in a comedy classic. Should have been rewritten by some gay men, or at least repeated word for word from the original.. If you haven't seen it, catch the original on dvd. It's timeless. How come the writers of Will and Grace weren't recruited for this one.… Expand

    It's like watching grass grow. You're watching your own pathetic life being turned into a movie with these women who love to chat with each other about men and relationships.… Expand
