... a woman's movie. Not a man in sight. Seriously. I managed to suffer through this for my wife's sake, but you couldn't pay me enough to sit through it again. :Z

No eye candy? It's pretty well understood with my wife that when we watch a 'chick flick' (her words, incidentally), I will be looking for eye candy AND pointing it out (those are the "terms"). She is free to do the same when she joins me for a more "male-dominated" (in terms of actors on screen) film and frequently does so. Makes it possible for me to make it through most 'chick flicks'. -
That's a sensible arrangement, Ovation. As for The Women, there is no real eye candy. Anette Benning looks good for her age, but Meg Ryan no longer has that "cute girl next door " look. She's had work done on her face and really screwed her looks. Especially her lips.
As for the movie itself, I was curious enough to rent and watch it with my wife. I was vaguely aware of the 1939 original, and the fact that it was a play written by Claire Luce Booth. But, really, it was just so much "womanly" throughout that I dozed off a few times. If you've ever had to be in the same house when a baby shower is going on, then you'll know what I talking about.
Oh, there was one highlight. Bette Midler had a cameo appearance and as always she was a hoot.Comment
