Review: The Women (12A)
Running time: 114 mins. Starring: Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debi Mazar, Eva Mendes, Candice Bergen, Cloris Leachman, India Ennenga, Bette Midler, Carrie Smith. Director: Diane English.
An all-star cast adds lustre to writer-director Diane English’s rather dull remake of this classic.
The Women is an inoffensive clone of Sex And The City.
Men are nowhere to be seen throughout the film but appear to be catalysts for the heroines’ transformations.
If women ruled the world, they would apparently need men to tell them how to run it properly.
