CGiii Comment

Sub-standard chick flick - with the obligatory gay hairdresser (and husband), lousy acting, over-acting, dull and uninspired writing.

It's almost like watching a very bad version of Dream Girls without the music.

Whitaker should stick to acting because his directing talents leave much to be desired.

A complete and utter bomb.

Friendship becomes the strongest bond between these women as men, careers, and families take them in different directions. Often light-hearted this movie speaks about some of the problems and struggles the modern women face in today's world.
