The Women

I hadn't read or heard anything about this movie so feared that, despite a cast of women whose performances I generally like, it might be disappointing at best. However, I really enjoyed it and think you will, too! Meg Ryan is still too cute (she can't help it), but how can you go wrong with a cameo by Bette Midler? And Cloris Leachman is her usual fine self, as is Annette Benning (who actually looks her age). I have trouble with Grace being anyone besides Grace, but Jada Smith was pretty funny--especially in the final scene. It's definitely a "chick flick." In fact, I don't recall even one man in the film unless you count extras on the sidewalks of New York!
