This is just purely bad film. With an incredible bad message to all woman. I think this could've been a great film. An all female cast was brilliant and acting was great. But the story and the message?...This film literally tells women that if their husbands cheat and lie to them, then turn the other way as it won't last and everything will work out, live in denial.I was hoping to see a inspiring film about how women can live happy and successful lifes without their lying and cheating husbands. Or at least how if one truly loves someone they fight for him and make the partner see what truly loves is. But no this film, the cheating husband got of a women who he was cheating with as they were now living together, and wanted something that he couldn't have. But he didn't dump the her and then show sadness or loneliness, he was still with her until the end when he asked the ex wife for another chance.So ask yourself, what did the husband learn? or what did audience learn? that if he cheats and then get bored of the affair because she isn't as smart or ambitious as the wife, and asks for another chance then its fine? even if he is still sleeping with her when he is asking you for that second chance?

This is one of the worst movies I've ever watched. The plot is flimsy, many lines are vulgar and sexually explicit, and women are portrayted as dull, insensitive beings. I can't understand why in the year 2008 such a notorious cast and so important resources were employed in a so poor effort. I really wish that in the future no other film will claim to talk about women in such a dumb way,

The original 1939 "The Women" garnered some really die hard followers. There are message boards still going on it. "I have two questions; first, what did she say about _______; and, second _________." Someone comes along a few posts later and says she can answer the first part of the question, and does, but not sure yet about the second. It's that embedded. Most of the fan-atics of the original warned against any attempt to remake something so perfect. They jumped on "The Opposite Sex," and trounced that rather thoroughly. It was a bad movie. But, their full fury is earned here. It turns out their dire prediction of failure is vindicated in both cases. At least "The Opposite Sex" changed the name before they changed it all around. Here, it's not only a change-around, but an even further deterioration in flow, timing, direction, authenticity with added errors in casting and performance. Don't directors know how to say "cut" anymore? This should be followed by a firm instruction as to what's really going on here, how the characters feel in this scene, and, let's start again from – whatever point. They used to say at the end of filming that it's in the can, meaning the finished reel is in its metal case and ready to be distributed. Sadly, this weak effort with its canned performances was finished before production ended, and quite unready for distribution.

Normally, I'm more supportive of women directors, but this really doesn't deserve it. Good actors stuck in a bad script, and it's not even witty. The original was far more clever, if slightly vicious and dated. And what on earth did Meg Ryan do to make herself so unattractive and emotionally unappealing??! (Can you say bad plastic job? Uh-huh. Forget the fat lips, girl.) Moreover, there's not one major character (or characterization) that I find remotely sympathetic or can care about -- I want to slap them all! Don't care for the wimpy, spineless Meg Ryan character or the superficial Annette Bening character. Really don't like the Bette Midler character (or is it what Midler does with it? It's a toss-up). Hate, hate, **HATE** the Debra Messing character!! Eva Mendes? Flat. Boring. Could do entirely without Cloris Leachman: she just irritates lately wherever she is. And Jada Pinkett Smith is practically invisible in this.Skip this. Waste of time. Enough said.
