CRITIC REVIEWS
LEW IRWIN
Clearly when it comes to The Women, critics are mostly sexists -- even the female ones. Take Elizabeth Weitzman's comment in the New York Daily News: "Is it an exaggeration to call The Women the worst movie of the year? Well, yeah, probably. But it may be the most disappointing, given all the effort that went into it." Or Claudia Puig's in USA Today, who calls the movie "defanged and drippy." Lisa Kennedy in the Denver Post writes that the remake "feels more dated than the 1939 original did for its time period." Male reviewers aren't ducking the possibility of being branded sexist. "The movie wanders and wallows, stumbling toward screwball before veering in the direction of weepiness and grasping at satirical urbanity along the way," writes A.O. Scott in the New York Times. Carrie Rickey in the Philadelphia Inquirer gives the film a middling review: "I feel like a hung jury," she writes. "My final verdict on The Women: Enjoyed not overjoyed." But Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times heaps much praise on the film, beginning his review by writing, "What a pleasure this movie is, showcasing actresses I've admired for a long time, all at the top of their form."
