3.0 out of 5 stars Some redeeming value., November 17, 2004

By 

Sojournalist (Fairfax, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Women vs. Men (DVD)

The three men in the movie run the gamut from the guy who really loves his wife and doesn't want to lose her, to the divorced guy who's out to **** anything with a skirt that will come off, including the other guys' wives.

** spoilers **

As other reviewers said, the movie earned its R rating in one 35-second scene. Even that was a little unbelievable, because the guys walked in to the strip club and the wife, a few seconds behind, spotted them both in the midst of very close and personal lapdances. Usually, the point of strip clubs is for the girls to keep the guys there spending money, and the guys are there to enjoy the view, so they're not going to be so quick. I digress. However, the wife's shock and outrage are quite believable; disillunsionment, a hemorrhage of intimacy like that can be quite a blow. Imagine stumbling across your wife passionately kissing another man.

I will say that one of the best scenes in the movie is when the divorcee neighbor is drunk, and she tries to tell the two wives how great being divorced is, "how freeing." Then she gets a wistful look on her face and says, "Fear is a terrible age for being single. You look at the stranger lying in the bed next to you, and you hope he's not a psychopath, and if he is, that he'll finish you quickly. You're forty, fifty years old, and you realize that whatever good you might have salvaged from your marriage is buried under too much hurt."

Bottom line on the movie, if you were a fan of Paul Reiser's Couplehood and other similar works, or are into movies that are about relationships deeper than Hugh Grant/Sandra Bullock, then you might enjoy this movie. There's some twists in it, and it's an ensemble cast that do a good job of explaining their entwining lives, turning over the concepts of love, marriage, fidelity, and interactions between men and women in long-standing relationships. There are a couple of laugh-out-loud spots, and there's a couple of spots where you nod in agreement... and the reason this got three rather than four stars: a couple of places that just didn't feel true, as if the writer couldn't bring himself to write the very painful parts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learn to Laugh at Yourself!, September 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Women vs. Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie made me smile, or rather I should say I broke out in laughter many times! If you see the humor of the situations of "Sex in the City" or laugh at "Malcomb in the Middle" this movie is for you! The short scene in the strip club was probably the only scene to earn the R rating. Otherwise adult humor, some language.

By A Customer

This review is from: Women vs. Men [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I really enjoyed this movie! it was amusing as well as thought provoking. I could recognize the characters played out in this film as folks I meet everyday!For those who are involved in long term relationships this film although quite comical can deliver some AHA! insights into male and female interaction and relationship priorities!!
