A couple of weeks ago when the trailers started up for "The Women" at the local movie theaters, I sat up and took notice when clips of Meg Ryan flashed across the screen.
Wow!
The little charmer looked fabulous!
'Ya know, when women hit a certain age, it's tough hiding the ravages of time from the glare of the searing camera lens.
Not so, with Meggie, though!
Eat crow, Russell!
As I waited for a battalion of ushers to waft through the theatre and scoff up the last remnants of trash tossed aside by lazy movie buffs the night I was taking in "Home Alone", a gaggle of young women sashayed out with wide smiles on their faces after taking in the comedy, "The Women".
When I quizzed 'em about the new theatrical release, the response was unanimous.
Loved it!
Apparently, the film was a delight!
Adapted from the play by Clare Boothe Luce, "The Women" follows the spoiled lives of a handful of wealthy Manhattan women, and their trials and tribulations.
In particular, the plot focuses one of the main characters - who appears to have it all - until she learns of her husband's infidelity by way of a spiteful young shop girl who is jealous of her.
The well-rounded cast includes star turns by Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, and Candice Bergen.
Old-time favorites Bette Midler, Cloris Leachman, and Carrie Fisher round out the cast in cameo roles they inhabit with delicious gusto!
I'm not inclined to take in the Diane English comedy; but, I expect it's a great popcorn-pleaser for girl's night out, eh?
Enjoy!
