How to Please a Woman

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!!

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.

I like to watch Aussie movies as an Aussie and did not know this was one when chosen on Apple TV, it was not predictable, had many funny moments and did not make me cringe with an over Aussie emphasis like some Aussie films can do. Some amazing female characters and a number of themes running through the movie. Enjoyed it, recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed this simple comedy that was nicely written, wonderfully performed and directed, and very believable as a real-life experience. Sally Philips is very good in her role as a business owner of an all-male cleaning service. No, she is not fronting for a male escort service, although I am sure that came to the mind of several of the viewers initially. She is legit, as is her business. That is what makes the movie really funny. Had they tried the escort angle, it would not have worked as well in my opinion. Better to have a woman with a midlife crisis, than a madam with questionable motivations. A fun film.

I can only imagine that the negative reviews are from younger women, or certain men, as I can't imagine any woman over 40 not thoroughly enjoying the total truth of this movie. Sally Phillips does a great job playing uptight Gina who redefines herself and her values. Her friends are what female friends should be, supportive and challenging. It was a terrific tongue in cheek movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. The only downside is that a service like this with warm and genuine women at the helm doesn't exist!
