Watch Dr. T & the Women For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Well, to make things short, this movie should not have been made. After watching it for the first and last time, I've simply taken the DVD out of the player an literally thrown it out the window waiting fr the first car to run over it. It's hard to believe that such movie was produced. As I've seen Mr. Gere is acting here I thought this is going to be a nice romantic or drama movie, but instead I got bad acting, almost no story-line and stupid ending. It's a complete waste of time and I do hope you all avoid watching this thing (not even a movie).

This had to be the single most annoying movie I have EVER seen! Sixteen harping women talking over each other for two hours (it seemed like six), even in Spanish, please save your ears and eyes, you would be better off watching Stooges Reruns. OMG! How can this even be called a movie. There was not a single tolerable scene in the movie, it stereotypes women, the acting is absolutely horrid! Farrah may be built like a brick s-house, but she still can't act her way out of a wet paper bag, although this movie may have been just right for her, she acts like a brainless infant the entire movie, because she's loved too much, I mean really, who thinks this garbage up. And, on top of it, it's not even a love story, I don't really know what it was, a cluster-F(&(**^^%!

What surprised me was not necessarily the directing---the cuts to the one female's rear-end seems to me not to speak necessarily about the director, but that particular character's "character", but who knows, it's possible.What got me was that this was written by a woman. I have no problem with her portrayal of these high-society women. I am not one myself and so I cannot vouch for or against them. What I can say is that I fully expected this to have been written by a man. I mean come on- a man loves a woman so much that she reverts back to a child-like state- seemingly permanently? Get over yourself.-- A woman that seemingly has "everything" so she would rather live in an alternate reality as a child--- I understand that a housewife may have feelings she isn't contributing to society after her children are grown, but unless you actually have a history with mental health (and therefore this transformation is caused by other reasons) I don't buy that she would go to this extent to escape this "horrible reality of having it all". I believe she might leave... go through a bit of a mid-life crisis, have some issues... lots of possibilities, but the reason she is in the state she is in, is not because her husband "loved her too much". And the notion that this could be possible is absurd and extremely stupid. (Hey it's not a word used much by intellectuals, but here it applies.) Again, really? A woman wrote this? The first part establishes the main male as a wonderful, sensitive, caring man and then while his wife is away in an institution he has an affair. Yes, how supportive, nurturing and sensitive this course of action is.And the ending- his life has fallen apart so he drives into a tornado, seemingly wakes up in a Mexican desert and is unscathed, meanwhile, his car (that had no hood for protection) is torn apart. Yes, I am quite certain this tornado took him from Dallas, which unless I'm mistaken is towards the center of Texas to Mexico, again unscathed and in fact he has survived in such good shape that he is able to run to the houses in the desert directly after he awakens from the accident.And the ending- he delivers a a baby boy and laughs out loud. This is no resolution to any of the problems he has gone through- especially considering in this Hispanic home he is again, surrounded by women, only this time, they don't even speak his language. This might have been a resolution to the story if the experiences with the women in his life previously in the move have made him decide to play for the other team. However,this would seem a weird way to suggest this, not to mention,this is extremely unlikely since typically this would not be choice, but nature.The music- I half/muted any scene with the (loud, annoying) music.Perhaps if I had given it a better chance, I might have enjoyed it, however considering I felt the need to lower the volume by half, I'm guessing not.Lastly, I realize we women are all different. We have our sometimes eccentric, sometimes crazy emotional ways. Which, by the way, sometimes make up part of our charm, (I myself, for instance, believe I am a nerd, and a weird one at that) but the only female character that made an impression that did not have some serious issues (of course everyone I know has some serious issue(s), but in Films/TV/Books we need someone to look to as a good example, someone that even with her issues, seems to have it together or is on her way there)is the character played by Helen Hunt and this is cancelled out by the fact that she is not only having two affairs at one time, but one of these is to a married man with an ill wife. And trust me there are a lot of women in this film, it seems someone should have had some moral ground of some kind; perhaps Maria, the maid, but we will never know because her part was so small, however she seems the most likely.I realize, that sometimes we have to make room for no role models in comedies, because these are purely written/made for this purpose, but event though Netflix listed this as a comedy, I think for all of the conflict, it should at the very least be a dramedy, but more appropriately a drama with some comic instances.I would not recommend this movie. I think it is a waste of time. However, a few male "Madmen" types might find it a good excuse to treat their wives like crap in order to keep their lives from being "ruined" by the women they "love."

If you've never seen a Robert Altman film except Dr. T and the Women, you may wonder why there was so much press about his passing a week or two ago. Altman was considered a superbly talented and artistic film maker, but you would never know it from watching the dreadful Dr. T.Another reviewer on this site said not to expect "Pretty Woman," an immensely popular Garry Marshall flick with Richard Gere. The reviewer is right. While Pretty Woman was a repulsive story of gold-hearted whores, making a gajillion bucks from Gere-loving women looking for sweet, gold-plated romance, DTATW is an unfunny, unromantic, tedious story of pampered UMC types, circling around Gere, a befuddled and oh-so-handsome gynecologist who has a psychotic wife, two bordering-on-bizarre daughters, and a budding relationship with Helen Hunt, the only woman in Dallas who isn't a neurotic and hopelessly dependent hausfrau or wannabe.Other than the feeble attempt at providing some prurient pleasure for the boys with Farrah Fawcett and Helen Hunt naked (at different times) in the background, only a hopeless metrosexual could sit through this. For the ladies, Gere looks godlike, as usual, and Robert Hays has lost his geekiness from the Airplane movies and has settled into a nice, handsome middle age.But a glimpse of skin here and Gere looking exasperated there does not a pleasant time make. There's no point to Dr. T., no center, and unless you enjoy watching Gere fall for and be manipulated by Hunt (not a bad thing if she were on the up-and-up), I can't think of anything less enjoyable than watching Altman's disastrous "women's movie." Except for putting your feet in those stirrups (I have been told).
