oh Man.

So finally went out to visit the theatre with the madre to see: The Women. Certainly not my first choice but I never pass up a chance to sit in the theatre and eat over buttered popcorn. There were some high points to this flick for certain. The overall components and reactions etc. in the movie were very dead on, I thought for the most part it was pretty accurate to the generic female experience. Now I don't agree with taking back a repeatedly cheating husband/partner etc but the emotions, reactions, rawness of that is pretty real. Also I thought it was fantastic that they managed to keep men out of the entire movie. Not only do you not ever see or hear the main men in the movie there are never any men in the background or extra shots, that is just admirable to remember that the whole way through.
Now that being said the negatives: it was very cliche, the acting made it seem real but it was the same story you have heard before the same twists and turns so it was perhaps more lifelike than other chick flicks but it was horribly unoriginal chick flick. Also it was the women but the movie focused only on Meg Ryans and Annette Bennings characters and Debra Messing & Jada Pinket Smith were just kind of there, it was kind of confusing to why the 4 of them were even friends etc.

so its pretty much an uneven predictable piece but it was worth the price for the cheap laughs and knowledge that it is a chick flick.
