    Charming romantic sex comedy

    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.

    A Rare Good 2022 Comedy - How to Please a Woman

    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.

    How to please a woman? Make more movies like this!

    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.

    Aussie movie without cringe

    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.

    Great film.

    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.

      Tom: Do you know how good it is to sleep with someone who's more interested in you than in how they look naked?

    • Crazy credits
      The end title sequence begins as a computer word search of "How to ..." and then "How to please a woman." The auto-complete below the search bar suggests things such as: "How to have an orgasm, How to remove limescale, How to bake a croissant, How to reverse park a truck, How to start your own business, How to feel confident in bathers." The rest of the end titles are normal.
