Gutierrez's story is structurally clichd ... but, worse still, his characters are uniformly unbelievable and two-dimensional.

| Original Score: D | Apr 22, 2011

It'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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2010

In the "whatever were they thinking of" genre, a new entry: Women in Trouble.

| Dec 10, 2009

A lucky alchemy of writer and cast turns what could have been an indie bore into something surprisingly uproarious.

| Nov 18, 2009

A good look at men dealing with women and a good look at the supposedly soft side of porn doesn't make a good looking film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 16, 2009

A tedious dramady about an unappealing group of women in Los Angeles.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 15, 2009

A sprightly, sexy, campy and outrageously funny ensemble comedy that's best watched with an open mind and a large audience for maximum enjoyment.

| Original Score: 7.25/10 | Nov 13, 2009

The film has already reduced itself to an empty exercise in campy, color-bathed titillation, as a gaggle of women are defined by their sexual drives and abilities without comment from the filmmaker.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 13, 2009

This forced, charmless multi-character movie pretends to show women in all their glorious variety, but it really just traffics in the same old cliches.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 13, 2009

Apparently, in Gutierrez's mind, expanding the range of humanity available to women on film means they can be porn stars or prostitutes...and they can be catastrophically dumb...

| Nov 13, 2009

Mr. Gutierrez, as suggested by all the dcolletage, appears to be a breast man. Too bad he didn't set his sights higher.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 13, 2009

It's a film with undeniably gorgeous parts that never quite develops into a sum.

| Nov 13, 2009

Unlikely accidents, shared secrets and zany twists combine to whip up a pleasing froth.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 13, 2009

The most jeopardy these women confronted was the day they said yes to Women in Trouble.

| Nov 13, 2009

Unfortunately, while it is a great idea for a sketch, or a web series, it's not a movie length idea.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2009

Penthouse Forum meets Pedro Almodvar in this frantic slice of trash-masquerading-as-class.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 12, 2009

Too much of Women In Trouble settles for banal instances of infidelity, female bonding, or psychoanalysis when it needs to keep the action going. It's fine to be inconsequential, as long as the charged-up frivolity never stops.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 12, 2009

The attractive cast, notably the earthy Gugino, tries hard to invest the one-note characters with a degree of humanity, but are betrayed at every turn by the thin material.

Full Review | Nov 11, 2009

The film borrows beaucoup Almodvarisms -- multilayered hysterical heroines, a singular homo-ironic aesthetic -- and reduces them to Podunk wink-wink camp and carping-harpy heroines.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 11, 2009

Women in Trouble awkwardly mixes blue material with sob stories.
