Best chick flick this year bar sex and the city
This was a wonderful remake of the 1939 classic. And as in the original you never see one man in the movies - though they seem to be the main subject. If you like sex and the city and intelligent lively rom coms then this is for you. It boasts a great cast with some famous cameos. Bette Midler please stand up. Some tear jerking moments about friendship between women and the adorable debra messing scene stealing as the pregnant friend. The birth scene will bring back a few memories. Well worth a watch.

Even Women would sleep at this Movie
If you were going to make a film about women it should at least be about women who are exciting or have achieved something great. These women are just plain old boring high society gals who sit around and do nothing but complain and gossip......and thats it!! As a man I refuse to believe this is all women do - we live in the day where it is apparently great to be a women but it wasn't emphasised in this film. It's disappointing that you have such a great cast but yet the film doesn't live up to much, it doesn't really tackle anything or any issues. Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Meg Ryan, and Jada Pinkett are all talented actresses and could have made this film a lot more than it really is. The film isn't funny nor heartfelt - its pretty much a snooze and even women would fall asleep at this.
