Annette Bening is one of my all time favorite actresses along with the cast of the movie. A feel good womens movie offering love and support to Meg Ryan when she finds out her husband is having an affair. A great mix of personalities and the meaning of friendship. Also shows how you can move on after a collapse of your marriage. Cloris Leachman also adds to the mix for some good laughs!

I bought this flick for the cast. And I'd seen the original. I was shocked at how many have had "work" done on their face. It was astounding. It spoiled the movie but that's Hollywood, always pushing beauty and thin bodies over substance and character. The real beauties: Jada and Eva but even they may go under the knife when their beauty fades. The update to the movie won't disappoint. I first thought it was a chick flick then it hit me: men will be thrilled with the lingerie scenes. If young girls see it, they will only feel pressure to be thin and cosmetically enhanced. If you like Meg Ryan, you'll like the movie. She's the hero. I'd say watch, but you may be disappointed...
The original movie's tagline was "The Women - it's all about Men!" But this remake is a great update of that classic, giving it a positive and modern sensibility. Still filled with witty banter and sparkling personalities, this 2008 version is about women supporting women, not women tearing each other down. Lots of good stuff about friendship, loyalty, forgiveness, self-esteem...and all in a very smart, very fun package. Great cast with wonderful cameos by Candice Bergen, Cloris Leachman, Bette Midler and Carrie Fisher. The special features show how hard it was to get this film made and the amazing fact that it was made, including the technical and financial aspects, entirely by women. If you liked "First Wives Club," you'll like the new "The Women."
This is a great movie, I loved the 1939 version with Roz Russell and Joan Crawford so much - that I was really heisitant about watching this remake - but the updates are fabulous - i would still encourage anyone who hasn't seen the original version to do so because it is wonderful too more of a old screwball comedy then BUT I would also definately recommend viewing this movie - all the actresses do a fabulous job and dealing with life stressors and relationships both female and male - but just like the original you don't see one male actor on screen for the entire movie. Watch this New gem - You will have to own it too. - This movie is definately a keeper. - OH yes - my only dislike in this movie was that one of my favorite actresses Bette Midler was only in it briefly - but even briefly the devine miss M makes a lasting impression(as always) - So Ladies put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and enjoy this great movie -Read full review
