Mary Haines seems to have it all - the means, the motive and even the Man in this bitchy-not-kitschy movie of turbulent passion, divorce and friendship. I can hardly wait to see how the other half manages their own chaotic lives full of divorce, betrayal, cocktails and pharmaceuticals. Sounds like another episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County? Actually, it's The Women and it starts THIS Friday September 12, 2008!
Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett-Smith are the main attractions in this flick and the cameo appearances include Bette Midler, Cloris Leachman and Candice Bergen. With so much estrogen flowing around in this movie—how can this not succeed? Or at least make you break out your hormone pills to enjoy the ride.
I saw the previews a few weeks ago and in order to not spoil the fun, I will only highlight a few moments that made me want to see it. When Mary Haines’ (Meg Ryan) man starts an affair with Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), a sultry "spritzer girl" lurking behind the Saks Fifth Avenue perfume counter, all hell breaks loose and The Women get together for some much needed “girl power.”
And now, you too can enjoy your own estrogen-filled night with Nando. How does this happen? Simple. Tell me in your best words why you deserve a break from your world and get some “NANDOISM” in your life. Everyone is eligible to enter—except Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin—although sister-girl might want to attend in order to take notes during the show on new hair-styling tips—cause that teased-out do might work in Alaska, but girlfriend needs to lean back and get it together.
Remember, the best 5 responses (and hilarity always helps) will win tickets to The Women THIS Friday (for a movie review) and will attend the show with Nando! Does it get any better than that?
Good luck and merry writing! (Winners will be announced Thursday afternoon)
