How to Please a Woman

Finally watched this film, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely watch it again! Real talk though, it is a film for women and for men who aren't scared of women being sexual beings. It has funny bits, serious bits and is sexualised in a fun way but is mostly a comedy in my eyes. Seems like all the majority of bad reviews are from men or prudes. I literally made an IMBD account just to write this because people are butt hurt about "non-standard-pretty" women having a sexual life. It's simple, if you don't like hearing or seeing things about women's sexuality then this movie is NOT for you. It is shame that these fictional characters represent so many truths in a woman's life and the movie is being reviewed badly by those who can't handle a woman having a life outside of marriage or motherhood.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Great business idea and a very funny movie. I think because it rings so true. The script, actresses and actors did an amazing job. This movie was watched by both Australians and French, and we all agreed totally brilliant idea for the movie. Well executed. Bravo.

Aussie flick "How To Please A Woman" seems like it should be a comedy, what with it's name and premise of put-upon 50+ Sally Phillips (in a deserving lead role) starting a business having men (Alexander England, Ryan Johnson, Erik Thomson & Josh Thomson) clean the houses of local middle-aged women (mostly her pals)... and shag them. Despite some attempts at humour though writer / director Renée Webster plays it as a straight shot at a bold women's lib statement - which just comes off weird (surely not all 50+ Aussie women are as blasé about everyday casual sex as depicted here - are they?!). It's an awkwardly odd movie - that should have been a comedy.

Absolutely loved this cheeky, heartwarming comedy. Webster's articulate portrayal of women embracing the older stages of life with the same vivacity as their younger selves is a refreshing take with loads of laugh out loud moments. A must for fans of Calendar Girls, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Muriel's Wedding.

This is one of those movies in which the cast has more fun than the audience. Written and directed by a woman, the acting was decent, but no grasp on reality. When a real situation would arise, it was immediately tossed out, and the storybook continued. Watched it on a laptop during a local power black-out. Other than the forehead slapping, it entertained.

This movie is refreshingly funny with an endearing storyline which provided us with a great laugh. It involved relatable characters coming to terms with changed circumstances, and making lemonade out of the lemons life dealt them. Definitely worth a watch sipping on a few wines with your wife or a group of friends!

The plot makes me want to suppress my true emotions about love and intimacy. The characters make me feel cynical about life. This story speaks too much to my ego and very little to my heart. In my opinion, the protagonist celebrates a hedonism that disguises emotional armor. Breaking taboos for breaking taboos sake doesn't necessarily = progress.

All about people (women) making their own decisions. This is a comedy with a light-hearted look at how the restrictions on the female sex have changed! It is a tricky thing to attempt, but I think this movie is spot on! Just relax and enjoy!

Some films make sense and have a purpose, like making one laugh or something we can learn that is within the narrative of film, even if it is a commodity. This film does neither. It is cringing, and basically stupid. Nor does it hold one's attention. It is pointless rubbish.
