This film was overly long, tiring, and ugly. No plot lines were resolved in any way, and though this bodes well for a third film it leaves the second at a loss. There are too many characters and too little interaction between them. The film is choppy and poorly paced. Action sequences seem cut at random.

I wouldn't care too much, but this film had the biggest opening weekend of all time. Sure blockbusters don't have to be good cinema, but this film was bad.

I understand that they've already made a third. More power to them, but I hope that the hype dies down. The critical view of this film is fairly poor. The word of mouth should be the same. It seems like a film that makes 130 million in its opening weekend should be accountable for at least a minimum of quality.

I'm sorry, but I like this movie. It might just be my defense of Robert Altman, but I think that this is a good comedy. Dr. T who devotes his life to taking care of women, but never considers how they could take care of themselves. He loves everything about women, and women love him. However, nothing he can do can protect them in the end.

The problem is that this film was presented as a movie for women: a date movie that you can drag a boyfriend or husband to in order to prove love and devotion. The film is actually examining women, their needs and relationships with or without a strong male figure. This isn't a chick flick; it's an analytic comedy. So, the intended movie date turns out to be a disappointment for both parties who have no idea what to expect.

The only positive aspect of this whole misunderstanding is that now, years later, Dr. T ends up on the cheap rack at any DVD store. So don't rent it, buy it, give it another look and even if you don't like it, sell it for even cheaper. When this movie is available for less than a dollar, no one will have any excuse not to watch it. Several of the people will end up actually liking it.
