…or at least that’s what the ads are telling you. Look around town and you’ll notice something quite bizarre. I know I’m overcritical of bad ads, but this one has made quite an impact on me. Above the poster for this movie, you’ll find a red bar with white text, saying “Get your girlfriends together and go see this movie!” A little bit of a hard sell. To me, it’s trying to be Sex and the City without any of the appeal.
The Women, a remake of a 1939 movie, is targeted towards older women. Let’s say 30+. And the message of the movie is promoting women sticking together and being strong and independent. But look at Meg Ryan’s character. After kicking her cheating husband out, she neglects her young daughter and becomes depressed. She’s got all the money in the world: a rich father, two maids and a job as a fashion designer. Her friends are a soccer mom, a hot upper-class lesbian, a film executive and Eva Mendes plays a department store spritzer.
The point is, when you’re trying to make a movie about independent, strong women, and you’re trying to do it without any men, it’s stupid to just march out the same old stereotypes. At that point, you’re just reinforcing stereotypes of women, instead of having women rise above them. Nice work, Diane English, on a bad remake.
