THE WOMEN: QUICK BITE

THE WOMEN: FIRST EVER FATAL CASE OF PMS
My mother took me to see the stage version of The Women. From first memory she has been a feminist trying to help women gain their own identity and power. To my mother and all the other women in the world who have been working hard to see the first woman president, I both warn and apologise on behalf of those who tried to re-shoot The Women. This was a universal star driven film which makes it such a shame. Didn't anyone look up from their script and say 'Hey, this sounds way too preachy and stereotypical, couldn't I just say okay or something instead?' The script went through several re-writes; like 10. Don't you think that after 10 there might be a lesson in that waiting to happen. It's almost as bad as the feminine hygiene or birth control ads on TV. Everyone was trying sooo hard as the words kept coming from their well polished and injected lips. More than disappointing, this movie was offensive and disastrous. WORST movie I've seen since LiLo's I Know Who...
BITE ME: This movie was a shame and a shambles and doesn't earn another word.
