This Disney live-action musical version of Pinocchio is actually an OK retelling of the classic tale, this time as seen through the eyes of Geppetto, Pinocchio's (Seth Adkins) creator. Drew Carey does a good job in the role of Geppetto who learns that children are not perfect. Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Blue Fairy and Brent Spiner as Stromoli are a hoot.

Cast: Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bette Midler, Candice Bergen, Carrie Fisher, Cloris Leachman, Debi Mazar, India Ennenga, Jill Flint, Ana Gasteyer, Tilly Scott Pedersen, Joanna Gleason
This remake of 1939's "The Women" is written and directed by Diane English and takes a different slant from the previous film on women and their relationships. When Mary Haines (Meg Ryan) learns that her husband is having an affair with sexy Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes), her immediate response is to turn to her friends–magazine editor Sylvia (Annette Bening), artsy Edie (Debra Messing), and lesbian Alex (Jada Pinkett Smith). Instead of sympathizing with Mary, they tell her to dump her cheating husband. Mary also asks for advice from housekeeper Maggie (Cloris Leachman), nanny Uta (Tilly Scott Pedersen), Hollywood agent Leah (Bette Midler), and even her own mother (Candice Bergen) who offer their own perspectives on how to handle the situation. Finally, when gossip columnist Bailey Smith (Carrie Fisher) learns from her editor Sylvia about the affair, problems grow and extend beyond the marriage breakup. 1 User Review
