Featured reviews
As pointed out in other reviews, the veracity of the title leaves
something to be desired. I humbly suggest my one line summary
above as a more truthful substitute.
Having panned the title, what about the film? ..nothing worth paying
theatre admission prices to see, but it will still cost you 95 minutes
of your life, even if you see it "free."
And why would you want to do that? Maybe if you are curious about
techniques of character diminution that women can employ on
each other, you could find examples here. (BTW, note that I didn't
say ALL women do this.)
Then there is Dana Delany, who plays Jill, the strong one for the
better part of the movie. You may wind up hating her as her true
character in this role is revealed, but she is good at what she
does. In her other film works she brought life to "Exit to Eden" in a
really silly role as the "queen" of an island where people go to play
out their sexual fantasies. She plays a beautiful, but "dirty
double-crossing woman" in "The Right Temptation" in which she
cons Rebecca DeMornay into seducing her husband.
Most of the problems with this movie center around the annoying
overacting, exaggerated gestures, and excessive foul language.
You may get the feeling that you're watching an episode of an
"R-rated" soap focusing on an all-girls club meeting. But, what the
heck, if you like that sort of thing, why not?

Being a male I had often wondered what women think and talk about when they're on their own. I had no idea that it would be so obsessively sexual. In any case, this movie is an interesting examination of the lives and relationships of a bunch of women, each of whom have their own hang-ups and problems, but with a close-knit friendship which binds them together. The title can be somewhat misleading, although there is plenty of nudity involved, as this movie is more about women empowering women than about male exploitation/domination of women. A different slant in the old 'friends get back together for a reunion/wedding/death/whatever and talk/explore their past/renew bonds/whatever' genre. Worth a watch - 7/10.
I remember liking this movie when it came out, and thinking what an odd and somewhat misleading title (just ask for it at Blockbuster and watch the funny looks they give you). Except for the great and recognizable cast when looking at the box, one would expect a more prurient, less substantive, late-night cable skin flick from a movie so titled. But the title though is appropriate as the movie is about friends, behaving like the "girls" of their childhood, sharing laughs, gossiping, and candidly baring their psyches at a bachelorette party. It is interesting, funny, sexy, and even innovative (like, it was a good idea to do an entire film focused on women just conversing candidly -and the viewer is an eavesdropper). Having just seen the newly released DVD version, it occurred to me how reminiscent the dialogue and style is to Sex in the City, which started its run several years after this movie. It is not a great and serious film work, but it is good, interesting, well-made, and may be a good conversation starter.
Now when I say boring I don't mean it isn't realistic I have no doubt that women do talk this much about sex when there alone but since they all seem so unlikable (with the exception of Olivia D'Abo who plays the lover of one of the women who reunite in this film), I didn't care about what happened to them.
I saw this movie years and years ago, and was impressed not only by the quirkyness of the film but also about where the film takes you throughout the movie.
Its basically like being inside the mind of woman from a sexual perspective, from a perspective of female bonding and her life.
The ironies, the joys the pains the relationships. (the pains! hahaha!) Basically leading the woman to herself and the fact that women always have one thing in common together which always brings them back together.
A great female bonding movie, a great movie about diversity and also quite amusing as well!
Highly recommended for women with a sense of humour who like to shmooze and bond with other women;P
