My wife saw it and said it was good for a remake. Not nearly as clever and stylish as the original Oceans 11. She wished she had waited until it came out on streaming versus in the theater. These movies are designed to appeal to the female demographic for a girls night out movie. If that is the case then it works and it will probably make a good profit. Surely these actresses knew this POS wouldn't win any awards.

Suggestion for the new "woman power" Hollywood.......

If you want to continue to make all women movies that might actually attract an audience and get good reviews, how about doing something ORIGINAL and not just remaking a "guy movie".

Oceans, Ghostbusters.......

If you're just going to do a remake but plug in women and thing it'll be better, think again.

Neither here nor there but they have the time to remake all of these movies but can't find a way to continue Futurama or Beavis and Butthead? BS.

KOTH too. Even if Dale Gribble is paranoid about coming out of hiding.

Then they won't have so many box office flops like Ghostbusters, The Last Jedi, and Ocean's 8.

First of all, Hollywood is mostly out of original ideas. So most of what they do nowadays is rehashes, remakes and gender/race switching of good movies....all that does is make those good classic movies bad new movies.
If they would focus on story and writing, and leave the hyper-liberal, "I'm with her" agenda on the sidelines, then maybe some of these women movies would do better.

What's next? An all-female version of John Carpenter's "The Thing"?



No one wants to see that...even John Carpenter himself explicitly stated he purposefully decided to make an all-male movie because it would be more pure (the original 1952 "Thing" had a few women in it) and he "Hadn't seen an all-male movie in a while." That was in 1982...we've come a long way, baby (backwards) since then.


How about an all-female "Great Escape"? Ridiculous, of course...but not to today's Liberal Hollywood.



If you want to make a good movie with women, make a good original movie that shows real (mainstream) women, and not some far-left agenda-based drivel.

One of the few films I can recall that was successful remaking a classic with a left-leaning angle was 1981's George Hamilton in: "Zorro, the Gay Blade" which was funny and believable, but then, the sentiment nationally was that this behavior was not to be considered mainstream or normal, which is what allowed the film to be both funny and understandable to mainstream audiences. No one was pushing an agenda with it, unlike today's films.







Another film I recall that took on the same subject matter was 1982's "Partners" starring Ryan O'Neal and John Hurt. Again, the fact that it approached the subject matter as being far out of the mainstream, and didn't try to normalize it, made it more believable and funny as a film than if it had tried to push today's agenda, although it did a good job of creating sympathetic characters that could be understood by most anyone.

Women should all band together and never watch another movie with male actors. That'll work, for sure.

In fairness the Oceans 11 movie with George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and all the others was a remake from the 60's and it worked really well. This one just didn't work that well. Maybe if Steven Soderbergh had done this one if would have been good.
