I am sure you are about as interested in my political views as you are my movie reviews but I have to say it…I must say it, The Women is a ridiculous movie.
It was a movie about women making it in a mixed up world, I think.  Or it was a movie about female friendships.  Or it was a movie about finding the right man.  Or it was a movie about being treated like crap by the man in your life.  Or it’s a two hour LONG production with no men which is supposed to mean something and might if the non-existent men, the ones who weren’t cast didn’t have so much control over the women characters.  Seriously, they aren’t even in the movie yet they are running the show in absentia.
The main character gets repeatedly cheated on then leaves the husband to become a raving success in the fashion world as well as doing a one hundred eighty degree turn from her frumpy ringletted, baggy clothes wearing housewife look only to end up at the peak of her success back with the husband.  She’s supposedly back “only on her terms” which is supposed to make us feel better. He can only see her Tuesday because she is going out on Wednesday Thursday Friday with her lady friends.  Message being that if you are in charge of the calendar women then you ARE on your way to empowerment. 
P.S.  She has a kid she completely forgets exists while she traipses off to meditate and become a fashion diva while and said tweener picks up a smoking habit and starts dressing like a hooker. 

Even worse is that at one point a conversation occurs in which the women question can they have it all?  The answer apparently is, “Do we really want it all?  It’s so tiring….”  Whine whine whine.  The entire movie was like one long desperate whiney rant in which your best friend ends back with the guy anyway and basically you just feel like you have wasted your time….again as well as insulted her now fiancée.

By the way, it WAS all women in the theatre.  The sound DID go out.  We DID complain.  We ALL got our money back.  We ain’t gonna take it anymore; we aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right and we deserve a better chick flick especially from a bunch of women.  Popcorn anyone?
