How to Please a Woman

Finally watched this film, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely watch it again!

Real talk though, it is a film for women and for men who aren't scared of women being sexual beings. It has funny bits, serious bits and is sexualised in a fun way but is mostly a comedy in my eyes.

Seems like all the majority of bad reviews are from men or prudes. I literally made an IMBD account just to write this because people are butt hurt about "non-standard-pretty" women having a sexual life.

It's simple, if you don't like hearing or seeing things about women's sexuality then this movie is NOT for you.

It is shame that these fictional characters represent so many truths in a woman's life and the movie is being reviewed badly by those who can't handle a woman having a life outside of marriage or motherhood.

Ignore the low scores; presumably they were left by teenagers or men who are yet to evolve. This touches on themes common for women beyond their 20s (and possibly 30s). Funny, heartwarming, light and shade. And challenges misconceptions.

It works perfectly as an Australian film; done perfectly with tongue in cheek humour, but not cringey. Believable, and I was cheering for the main character. And I started to wonder if there's an opportunity in the market for this service, and considered if they'd franchise the brand. Ha ha

I don't usually review a film, but given the low score I had to wade in and join the chorus - get a group of women together and enjoy it!

Winner!!

Sally Phillips is an excellent lead for a very attractive cast. Deft direction and well drawn characters make the most of a solid, albeit slightly predictable script. Enjoyable with many moments of unexpected pathos. A few plot holes but nothing that takes you out of the movie. Great scenery of the area around Perth. Nice to see a well made film with crowd appeal like this come out of Australia. Female writer/director. The denouement is a bit contrived unfortunately for my taste, hence my rating. Still, both my wife and I had a good time watching it. Good date night movie for couples of a certain age. Demonstrates what a talented filmmaker can do with a fairly simple but compelling idea and a group of journeymen actors.

This film is "fluff", but charming and enjoyable fluff. It differs from older films of the same sort---sexy romantic farce---because it can talk about sexual technique and use words that would have been taboo in the dark old days. The actors are good at their job, and clearly enjoyed their roles, but don't expect this to be in the Oscar lists. Is it improbable? No more than many romantic comedies. Anyone giving this less than 6/10 or more than 8/10 is clearly either prudish or surprised with the open everyday ways of dealing with sex today, respectively.

If this was scripted as a stage play rather than a film, it would be performed by amateur troops all over the place.

This movie was great fun! It's so nice to watch normal-looking people in a story that actually feels honest. Some reviewers asked who would enjoy this movie. 50-something women who are tired of sappy romances with super skinny, overly made up women in five inch heels meeting men with perfect hair and eight packs, that's who.

Sally Phillips is a joy to watch and so is the rest of the cast.

I loved the part where one character asks another if they learned everything they knew about sex from porn. This movie is not for the prudish; it will probably put your knickers in a twist. But then again, maybe you'll end up loving it. I think I need my house cleaned.
