The Women...are sooooo boring and laden with every cliche in the book. The stories have been told a million tmes before and director English is apparently not a very creative story teller.

05/12/2009 Chick flick. Not to be taken seriously, of course. Was fun to see a movie with only women in it (men are just mentioned!) and all these great actresses together.

The funniest thing about The Women is that Mick Jagger is one of the producers. There was a knowing laugh in the theatre as his name sprang up in the opening credits -- our last chance to laugh, as it turned out, for the next two hours.

Nothing more, but nothing less than just hilarious flat-out fun that manages to top 'Sex And The City' in every way imaginable.

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, sappy and earnest.

Fourteen years in the making, The Women marks a serviceable directorial debut for English.

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.
