Wow. Meg Ryan. Annette Bening. Candice Bergen. Carrie Fisher. Debra Messing. Bette Midler. Eva Mendes. Jada Pinkett Smith. Cloris Leachman. This should have been a fantastic film. This should have been groundbreaking. This should have been the film which catalysed and empowered an entire generation of women. Well, it should have.
This was a good film. It just wasn’t a great film. It was fun. The characters were interesting and didn’t always behave themselves. Relationships with men and with each other went under the microscope. One very good scene had Tilly Scott Pedersen as au pair Uta and Cloris Leachman as housekeeper Maggie dissecting their employers’ shouting match. Characters went through hell and back again. And at the end, I felt like I’d been in the cinema for 2 hours. I hadn’t been transported into their world. I had laughed out loud a few times, but I didn’t feel like I’d been to see a comedy. It’s not really a drama, either, although it had dramatic moments.
Gals, I do think you will enjoy this movie. It won’t change your life, but it will occupy an evening. You don’t need to rush out to see it, just add it to your rental list.
