The Women

The new comedy about finding out what you really want.

I think this will do for his body parts...

This update of a play and movie from the 1930s has had a mixed reception. The storyline, a la Sex in the City, revolves around four women and their personal problems. The main thread is about a woman who thought she had it all until her husband started having an affair with a perfume saleslady. This development forced her to re-examine her life and head off on a new course. Meanwhile her influential fashion guru friend begins to realise that maybe she is not so influential after all.

115 minutes, Mature Accompaniment under 13 (Language)
Comedy, Female interest.
