Several women (and one girl) in L.A. are hiding something from someone else, or discovering something hidden from them. Maxine, a therapist, discovers her husband cheating on her with the mother of Charlotte, a 13-year old patient. Addy (the other woman) and her sister Doris have withheld from the girl the truth of her parentage. Holly, an adult film actor, isn't telling her friend Bambi how she feels about her, and another actor, Elektra, who discovers she's pregnant, hasn't told the baby's father that she loves him. A stuck elevator, a car crash, mid-air turbulence, a flight attendant, a shotgun-wielding bartender, and her roommate, who's a masseuse, help these women communicate.
Leave your thoughts about Women in Trouble.
| AV ClubScott TobiasWhat does it all mean? Nothing much greater than the sum of its seriocomic vignettes. To that end, Women In Trouble tends to sputter to life whenever the stories get racy. |
| New York PostKyle SmithDelivers plenty of smart dialogue and devises a number of excellent reasons to photograph his cast in situations that suggest the working title for the film might have been "Women in Underwear." |
| Movie RetrieverBrian TallericoIt's a film with undeniably gorgeous parts that never quite develops into a sum. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressGuys may remember this film as the finest collection of ladies who almost take it all off ever assembled. But in-between all the underwear and fetish outfits is a rather amusing collection of stories described by its very title. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA wildly uneven but compulsively watchable mix of high camp and grand passions, soap opera and softcore sex. Very much in the deliriously lewd style of Pedro Almodovar. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA tedious dramady about an unappealing group of women in Los Angeles. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe sexual humor is often bawdy, and Gutierrez goes right up to the edge of camp. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeGutierrez's script can't supply female characters as believable as Almodovar's, but in the director's chair he gives his cast room to compensate with funny, self-aware performances. |
| CinemaBlend.comPerri NemiroffIt's not pornography, but it evokes that same uneasy feeling that you're watching something that's so wrong but so right at the same time. |
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerGutierrez's story is structurally clichéd ... but, worse still, his characters are uniformly unbelievable and two-dimensional. |
