The classic 1939 film adaptation... worth seeing again and again. This is not.

I love women in real life but at the movies I hated The Women.

The funniest thing about The Women is that Mick Jagger is one of the producers. There was a knowing laugh in the theatre as his name sprang up in the opening credits -- our last chance to laugh, as it turned out, for the next two hours.

Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Rotten

One of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

In the end, English just wants to make a nice chick flick with some sassy lines. Genuine nastiness has been eliminated, while not-very-funny banter is retained.

Philip Kennicott, Washington Post
