What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sebastian Gutierrez certainly has an eye for the beauty of the female form, but Women in Trouble lacks a compelling script or point of view to go with its curvaceous visual appeal.

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

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. Go to Full Review
Rex Reed Observer 12/10/2009
In the "whatever were they thinking of" genre, a new entry: Women in Trouble. Go to Full Review
Mark Peikert New York Press 11/18/2009
A lucky alchemy of writer and cast turns what could have been an indie bore into something surprisingly uproarious. Go to Full Review

5/10
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. Go to Full Review

A tedious dramady about an unappealing group of women in Los Angeles. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 4 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Daniel S 02/27/2024 Girl boss bs! Go watch paint dry, you will thank me. See more 09/17/2019 A lot of very good acting talent has been wasted in this film. Certainly, a lot of good talent is present, but the lead characters are given very little to do or say. The director has an appreciation for the female physique, but he doesn't seem to know women very well, or he's not demonstrating that knowledge very well. I'm sure any woman watching the film, if there are any, would have to be saying, 'who would do that?' I have no explanation. As expected, the men in the film are all exploitative, or happy to be exploited. None of them seem to inhabit much intelligence. Even worse, the women don't fare much better. It's not a 'porn movie', but as an episodic comedy, the situations are so far-fetched that I stared at the screen and eventually gave up. Sorry. I like Carla Gugino and Connie Britton, but both actresses have done much better in other projects. Give this a pass. See more 02/02/2016 10 women got themselves in a variety of sticky situations. The stories were badly connected and the blue comedy didn't work as well as Gutierrez might have expected. The ensemble was great, featuring a talented cast of good looking people, but at times acting as distraction to the bland storytelling and thin material. See more 08/31/2014 The often thin material spits out a couple of humorous incidents. 17.8.14 See more 03/24/2014 A waste of beauty, talent, and time. See more Read all reviews
