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.
REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
"As a well-crafted, well-written and well-acted entertainment, it drew me in and got its job done. (...) Rating: *** (out of four)." (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
----------------------------------------
"I was looking forward to "The Women," but I could tell from the first scene that this updated remake of the 1939 classic by "Murphy Brown" creator Diane English - who would seem ideally suited to the job - was a total disaster. (...) Rating: * (out of four)." (Lou Lumenick: New York Post)
----------------------------------------
"It's not every movie that makes you wish Vin Diesel would run in and start blowing up stuff." (Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald)
----------------------------------------
"Think 'Sex and the City' without the sex. (...) it's a major dud. (...) a script that resists being crowbarred into the 21st century. (...) Rating: * (out of four)." (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
