Synopsis

Watch: The Women 2008 123movies, Full Movie Online – Based on a very clever comedy by Claire Booth, wife of Time Publisher Henry Luce and later Ambassador to Italy. One of the surprises was an all-woman cast, novel in the 1930’s. And although there were no men in the cast, most of the dialog was about them. The story is rather thin and depended on the fact that divorce, in the 1930’s, was not only difficult but almost impossible in New York. Mrs. Stephen Haynes learns that her husband is seeing a salesgirl at Saks, and reluctantly divorces him, abetted by her friends, all of whom have romantic problems of their own. In the 1930’s New York women who could afford it went to Nevada, where residency could be established quickly and divorce was relatively easy. The 1939 film, starring Norma Shearer, Paulette Goddard, Rosalind Russell, and Joan Crawford, was a hit. This one, with an even better looking cast, is definitely not, largely because someone tried to move a 1930’s situation comedy into the present..
Plot: The story centers on a group of gossipy, high-society women who spend their days at the beauty salon and haunting fashion shows. The sweet, happily-wedded Mary Haines finds her marriage in trouble when shop girl Crystal Allen gets her hooks into Mary’s man.

Badly Lit Women And Other Problems
Insane really. Even if you haven’t seen the original George Cukor movie with Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, Joan Fontaine and a cast of a thousand other stars you may dismiss this forced, politically correct, depressing comedy. Depressing for many different reasons. Meg Ryan for one. What has she done to herself? Her face can hardly move. That alone puts her miles away from Norma Shearer. Annette Bening should be suing the DP and Debra Messing, what the hell was she doing here? Actresses with no connection in the public’s subconscious trying to pass for friends, totally unconvincingly. Eva Mendes in the Joan Crawford part is an outrageous piece of miscasting. What a terrible idea! Her character is like a trans-gender performer without any taste or subtlety. Bizarre to think that a woman adapted and directed this women.The only positive things I can mention are a short but very funny appearance by Bette Midler and Cloris Leachman as the housekeeper.
Review By: katiemeyer1979
Why bother?
“The Women” is one of the best classic films of 1939, a glorious year for the American cinema. Based on the witty Clare Booth Luce theatrical play, is one of those works that are better left alone since the definite version by the great George Cukor, with a screenplay by Anita Loos, will never be better, as seems to be the case with this misguided effort.

Diane English, the creator of “Murphy Brown”, serves as the director for this updated take on Ms. Luce’s work. One can understand her admiration for trying to bring up to date this timeless play. Unfortunately, what was relevant in 1939 feels boring and somewhat inadequate today. Then again, Ms. English cast, with a few exceptions, pales in comparison with the players of the original movie. One can see why this feminist play, way ahead of its times keeps attracting new audiences.

One feels sad for the waste of talent in the film. Meg Ryan, who was so amazing when we last saw her at Katz’s delicatessen, is not in the same league as Norma Shearer. For that matter the Crystal of Eva Mendez equals Joan Crawford’s performance. While Ms. Crawford was the epitome of the calculating beast she was, Ms. Mendez seems vulgar and cheap. We feel as though Annette Benning, especially, and Candice Bergen have been totally misused in the overall picture.

Watch the original George Cukor film.
