the woman ( 2008 ) by diane english be sadly such a waste of talent . with annette benning and candice bergen and bette midler and cloris leachman whom i like and enjoy in everything i have see them and and meg ryan and jada pinkett smith and debra messing and and eva mendes who may not be my favorite actor but be nice to look at and how could the movie be boring and predictable and embarrassing and sloppy and and simply bad . it be make by diane english who be know a the writer of the very successful tv show murphy brown and and it be her first movie for which she write a script . the movie have be a labor of love for english who have try for many year to make it happen and i respect that . i even find the scene with the support player and bergen and leechaman and carry fisher and bette middler in short but memorable cameo and funny and smart and and enjoyable but in general the movie be a second hand sex and the city which be release few month ago . i do not find sex and the city very good when i saw it but next to the woman and it be simply brilliant . at least and sex and the city spar u the long and tasteless scene in the hospital delivery room where one of the character be have a baby and her friend be there support her . poor debra messing and what do she do to deserve that nightmare she be put through and we and the viewer together with her . the movie like the woman give the whole genre and chick flick and a bad name . it be nothing wrong with the genre and but why be it so difficult to make a really good comedy about female friendship and hardship and about deal with marriage and motherhood and and prove yourself professionally . these be all very compelling and important subject any modern woman can relate to . why make movie with the line and dialog and and situation so clichéd and predictable and not funny and insult that they will be forget as soon a the movie be over . after i saw the new movie and i check out from my local library the original the woman and i truly enjoyed it . the story be tell much well 70 year ago and and keep my interest all the way . the old movie have a real star power .
