Almost three quarters of a century has passed since The Women was unleashed on an unsuspecting populace; the inner sanctum of Manhattan socialites and all the cattiness, backstabbing and unapologetic malice that seethed through their painstakingly coiffed hairdos and razor sharp, yet finely manicured nails was revealed for all to see. Sadly, the 2008 remake of The Women has nothing to offer a modern audience. Virtually a shot for shot remake of the original 1939 film, sporadic injections of melodramatic ennui are given to each of the main leads that does nothing more than detract from the originally intended comedic tone and distorts the remake into a uninspiring mishmash of soapy cliches unfit for a Lifetime movie of the week. These women are nothing more than redundant caricatures of characters whose heyday has long since passed: the mousy wife of an adulterer that does nothing but bemoan her husbands existence, the emasculating businesswoman that exchanges her loyalty to her friends to keep her job, the butch lipstick lesbian / African American that seems to speak only in interjections, and the pregnant housewife dragging a handful of kids behind her and stuffing food in her mouth every chance she gets. Nothing but pathetic stereotypes that should offend anyone that watches it.
