"The Women"

Starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Jada Pinkett Smith, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing.
Directed by Diane English.

The original was part of the canon of amazing movies from 1939. This "reimagining" follows the same guideline: no men in the cast whatsoever. But that's basically where the similarities end. Diane English, creator of "Murphy Brown" (geez, how long ago was that?), directs a cast that can't hold a candle to the original.
