Hit – Starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Candice Bergen, Eva Mendes, Bette Midler, Cloris Lechman, Debi Mazar
When a wealthy New Yorker finds out that her husband has been cheating on her, she turns to her friends for support.
This is a movie for women, by women, and includes a cast of all women (there is a cameo of one male in the entire film). It shows the interaction between women who rally around a friend who is going through a difficult time in her life. This story seems true to the actual relationships between women and the ways that they support and love each other.
Meg Ryan is a welcome star of the film. We have not seen her in a long time and it is great that she is back on the big screen. Unfortunately, I find that her recent plastic surgery left her with a permanent awkward wrinkle on her face. It is quite odd. Putting that aside, she is fabulous in this roll.
I only wish that this story was a little more focused on all of the characters rather than just a select few.
Bottom Line: A great movie for women – and Cloris Lechman is hilarious!
