The Women (2008)

Cast: Meg Ryan (Mary Haines), Annette Bening (Sylvia Fowler), Eva Mendes (Crystal Allen), Debra Messing (Edie Cohen), Jada Pinkett Smith (Alex Fisher)
For complete list, see IMDb's The Women page.

The Women was a movie I was torn about watching. On one hand, it has a cast that is mostly full of amazing actresses. On the other hand, Meg Ryan is in it. To say I'm not a fan of Meg Ryan's is putting it mildly. I tend to try to avoid her in movies. The rest of the cast (Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing, etc.) are women I tend to like in movies.

Perhaps I enjoyed this movie, since part of me was expecting the worst. However, I thought the movie was well done and I enjoyed it. I'm glad I rented it and didn't bother to see it in a theatre, but I'd say that The Women is definitely worth renting. The relationships between the women could have been displayed a bit better, but the movie was well done overall.

Grade: B-
