Title: Contrived comedy with a few good moments
Product review: Highly contrived and artificial comedy with good moments and virtuoso carrying-on (I hesitate to say acting) by the three leading ladies--who are leading with their lefts. The problem with outings like this is that (1) it is only too obvious that a committee of brainstormers sat around and came up with the concept or 'hook' of this movie, i.e., dumped women shall wreak revenge upon their schnook former husbands, thus creating multiple opportunities for amusing gags, and (2) the viewer knows practically from the first five minutes where this is all going to go, o why waste any more time watching? Just to see how they do it? To try to locate an original joke or two among hundreds of recycled oldies? To soak up the charisma of the stars? Surely there must be something more constructive to do with one's life than watch this cookie- cutter imitation of a drama.
