Movie propaganda
The women is about friends and mothers and daughters. It's about breaking up and finding your way back. It's about reinventing yourself. It's about walking through fire for what you believe in. It's about Women.
Diane English, the creator of Murphy Brown, has gathered an exceptional cast for the remake of George Cukor's 1939 classic. Her script maintains the arch spirit of the original, and the all-female cast, but the women aren't as relentlessly catty this time around. The story follows a group of female friends when the one they envied most discovers her husband is cheating on her.

Theatrical report
Gosh, you can tell The women was made in the 30s. Trying to update it by 70 years is pushing it a bit. Well, ok, a lot. Despite adding an African-American lesbian the characters are all stereotypes. The dilemma is set a a world that's so rarefied that no-one will give a toss. Sex and the city this ain't.
There are a couple of funny lines.
The drama movie The women is directed by Diane English and stars Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes.
