Product: 8 Women (2002)
Rating: 5.0
Fun, cheerful movie to watch on a rainy day
Know the saying "so bad it's good"? That's probably how you can sum up "8 Women" I can understand anyone putting this movie down. They are the ones that are looking for "substance." But as the Amazon review said, it's "giddy fluff." And I agree with one reviewer who said "it's out there, but engaging." (It deals with lesbianism, incest, and adultery). It is not supposed to be taken seriously. It's cute, funny, and has some very catchy songs and dances all wrapped up into a murder mystery. This is the kind of movie I would usually give 1 star to because it is corny and has no real plot line, but somehow I really like it. I think it is one of the few "corny" movies you will like. The performances are up to par, and it really seems like these great French actresses are in on the "corniness" of the movie and are just having fun. I think I enjoyed it too because I like anything that is French : ) This is a great movie to watch when its raining and you want something to cheer you up. I reccommend it.
