Leave your thoughts about The War Between Men and Women.
| The DissolveTasha Robinson[W]hat differentiates [The War Between Men and Women] from the Knocked Ups of the world is how uproarious the funny parts get, in part because they're so daringly nasty, and how authentic and well-earned the ending seems by comparison. |
| User ReviewTimothy PI have seen this movie and anyone who is familiar with James Thurber's work will appreciate it. Great acting jobs by both Jack Lemmon and Barbara Harris. |
| User ReviewAj VA predictable romantic comedy with a couple of good actors. It's a pretty modern story, for it's time, and the "battle of the sexes" type story is sort of interesting. Overall it's just okay. |
