This forced, charmless multi-character movie pretends to show women in all their glorious variety, but it really just traffics in the same old cliches.

Mr. Gutierrez, as suggested by all the decolletage, appears to be a breast man. Too bad he didn't set his sights higher.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times

Unlikely accidents, shared secrets and zany twists combine to whip up a pleasing froth.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
Too much of Women In Trouble settles for banal instances of infidelity, female bonding, or psychoanalysis when it needs to keep the action going. It's fine to be inconsequential, as long as the charged-up frivolity never stops.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
