    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.

    Disappointing!

    When I heard that Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett-Smith to name a few, were in one movie, I thought it was going to be fantastic. It's not often you get such great actresses in one movie! However, although it was a fun idea for a story, it actually turned out to be silly, uninteresting and slow. I was actually waiting in anticipation............for the end Really really disappointed!

The company's founder Emanuel Ungaro, who is no longer involved with the firm, also criticised... Read more
