The Women is a 2008 American comedy-drama film directed by Diane English and starring an ensemble cast led by Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Candice Bergen.
The film is a remake of the 1939 film of the same name, which was based on the play by Clare Boothe Luce. The story centers on a group of high-society women in New York City, and explores themes of friendship, betrayal, and empowerment.
Mary Haines is a successful clothing designer and mother of a young daughter. She has been happily married to her husband, Stephen, for many years, but discovers that he has been having an affair with Crystal Allen, a perfume salesgirl.
As Mary's life falls apart, she seeks solace from her friends, including magazine editor Sylvie Fowler, who dabbles in matchmaking and gossip, and Edie Cohen, a wisecracking housewife. Meanwhile, the conniving Crystal continues to lure Stephen away from Mary, causing a scandal in their social circle.
The Women received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, with some praising its performances and witty dialogue, while others criticized its reliance on stereotypes and lack of depth. Despite its flaws, the film remains a beloved classic among fans of the original film and the genre of women-centric comedies.
