The "Stupid" Women
Friday, September 19th, 2008It is hard for me to admit this but I actually saw the movie The Women last night. I feel like I should be stoned for it. It was very stupid. I went with my friend Tami and throughout the movie we kept telling each other that it was so stupid. Halfway through we were hoping it was almost over but this movie lasted 2 painful hours. The acting was absolutely awful.
- Jada is supposed to be a tough, drunk, too cool lesbian; she couldn’t pull that off.
- Eva Mendes is supposed to be the sex kitten, husband stealer; even though she is pretty she can’t do this, they should not have given her any lines.
- Debra Messing is supposed to be this free spirit with five kids that dresses ecclectic/hippie and is the “too sensitive” type; ya right, it was painful to watch her attempt this.
- Annette Benning is the rich, successful, confident bitch; she couldn’t do it, I think she was sucking the bad acting from her co-stars because I know she can act.
- And of course Meg Ryan is supposed to be the perfect mom, friend, wife, giver who stays beautiful and doesn’t do anything wrong throughout her life; I couldn’t get past her face, her plastic surgeon should lose his license and she never should have divorced Denis because she hasn’t been able to act since.
The supporting cast was unbelievable and Bette Midler makes a failed cameo. Oh, and there is absolutely no men in the entire movie. Why??? Maybe that is why it is so awful.
So I beg you not to see this movie unless you want to be an actor and need to see what not to do.
I will give you a highlight though. A strange man came and sat right behind us and took off his shoes and put his bear foot on Tami’s armrest and she found this out because she touched it. Then he mysteriously disappeared. Nasty.
LOL! I would have never even known this movie existed were it not for you. I love Eva Mendes and wish I could be her. I’m sad to know she sucked so bad. I really just hate movies where they stereotype the characters so much. It’s annoying and doesn’t give the actors much room for making a believable character.
One of my other blog friends posted that she saw this last week and liked it. I was a bit disbelieving, and since I think we have similar movie tastes, I’m going with your review.
And in my comment to her, I actually said I couldn’t get past Meg’s new face!
Oh, and my blog has been strangely Tammy vacant, recently. Are you breaking up with me?
good to know, because I wanted to see it. What happened to Meg? she used to be good.
Tammy, I’m so happy! I saw your post this afternoon, and I realized it had been a while since I had a Tammyism on my blog. You used to comment on almost every post, so I wondered if we were breaking up, and I just didn’t know.
Whew, we can continue our Internet, turned briefly real life, affair.
The movie looks retarded and I have no desire to see it. I’m guessing Pineapple Express was better than this.
what made you see this movie? Ugh. I shudder at the thought of sitting through this for 2 hours. Poor Tammy and Tami.
