For those of us who love George Cukor's original campfest, the remake of The Women is such a total travesty that it goes against the grain to admit that anything about it is less than awful. And yet, honesty compels me to admit that the cast assembled last night - Meg Ryan, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debi Mazar, Eva Mendes et al - looked pretty darn good. It wasn't all roses; the director, for her sins, looked pretty meh, and Tara Reid was there. But you know what? This farce has so little to do with the original, I won't even pay it the compliment of calling it a remake. To keep our sanity, let's just think of this as another crappy ensemble comedy with a surprisingly good red carpet. The Good, the Bad, the Women - after the jump!
