"The Women"

Review by Eric D. Snider

Grade: D

Rating: PG-13

Released: Friday, September 12, 2008

Directed by:

Diane English

Cast:

The gimmick of "The Women" is that no men appear anywhere in it -- not as background extras, not as voices on the phone, nowhere. It's all women, all the time. Which might sound empowering and feminist, except that the women are all shallow, vain, and petty, and their primary topic of conversation is, you guessed it, men. (Also: shoes, manicures, shopping, facelifts, etc.) If this were any other film, I suspect women would be complaining about Hollywood's sexism and misogyny. But hey, we men had nothing to do with this one. This one is all you.
