Just a horrible, horrible movie. It’s Sex and the City recycled, but without the funny.
Chock-full of cameos and A-list female stars, The Women is a cynical look at stereotypical New York females responding to the news that Meg Ryan’s husband is cheating on her with Eva Mendes.
Now, it’s possible that this movie is truer to life than I realize, but I’ll say that I was really glad that it was a free rental from Redbox. The only saving grace of this movie is Cloris Leachman, who plays Meg Ryan’s housekeeper/nanny/maid. But it’s not difficult to stand out in this crap fest.
It’s hard to put my finger on what bothered me most about this movie. It could have been the overwhelming use of stereotypes or the assumption that all men cheat or it possibly could have been the offensive use of collagen in Meg Ryan’s face. It’s out of control fake.
All that combined into a movie that I was shocked that I finished.
I did think it was quite a feat to not have one male cast member in the whole movie. But despite that, yeah, it was just awful.
i didn’t think the movie was THAT bad. it was bad, but not as awful as you make it sound. kelly thought it was ok, too. i have always thought meg ryan was so cute, but since she got that collagen in her lip, she just looks silly.
so bad so bad – how can a movie with that many amazing women turn out like it did?
