What a waste of my time!!!

Excellent, a Must See

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

What is this movie? It looks like a middle-somewhere episode of an adult TV series. It is not particularly good, but then again, it is watchable, and there are some gloriously beautiful actresses in it, but I have to hold firm and sink it with a low score, because it is such a shambles going nowhere. I only checked out one of the IMDb reviews just now and was surprised to see that it was gloriously positive. This thing has the appearance of being an experimental film, a practice run of filming something without a real script, just loose ideas to see what you can come up with... And then they went and released it. If you are expecting a real story, steer clear. If you wanna see pretty actresses, well, gee, there's one here, that masseuse, she is, like, wow! All I'd ever want for Christmas and I promise to be a good boy forever! Get the picture? BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE SEEN THESE PRETTY ACTRESSES IN PROPER MOVIES OR SOAP OPERAS not this junky thing, AND THAT'S MY POINT and I challenge anybody to disagree with this one. I think this has been my most straightforward review of the lot, double quick time, and really, really helpful, you'd better believe it!By the way, released in South Africa as "Sexy Women in Trouble" with a very glamorous poster which fortunately features on the DVD box. Really made it look like The Big Thing at first sight, which is why I am so grumpy about it!

Gugino, Palicki, Britton and Chriqui. Nice! But then, also Isabelle Gutierrez. Oh no. Nepotism deals another blow.Not one, not two, not three, but four terrific-looking, sexy actresses in this one, and that's reason alone to watch almost any movie. After all, who wants to see Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Kathy Bates and Anjelica Huston in some damn overrated chick-flick-masquerading-as-deep-drama garbage? Not me. I'd rather see Palicki, Britton, Gugino and Chriqui - in just about anything (or preferably out of it).I do have some beef though with the utterly inane casting of Britton's daughter. Does Connie look like she could possibly give birth to THAT? One look at Isabelle and you just know she's a nepotistically infiltrated stink-bomb of the worst kind. The kid can't act to save her chubby, thin-lipped life, and looks more like something that would spring out of the fawlty loins of a Laura Dern or Jennifer Aniston than a freckled beauty like Britton.Isabelle Gutierrez, to be exact. Guess who wrote/directed/produced WIT? Sebastian Gutierrez. Just like an incurable optimist to cast his own daughter/niece/whatever, hoping to launch a huge but unlaunchable Hollywood career. This girl doesn't have a shot in Hell. In order to make it looking like that (and acting like a rank amateur), she'd need to be no less than the love-child of Stevie Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey. That's the only kind of nepotism that would guarantee her a film career. In fact, the result of such an unholy union would guarantee ANYONE a film career, no matter how bad they are or what they look like.Seb, if you're going to make the fatal error of casting your robotic, wooden-faced, non-expressive, apathetic daughter/niece/whatever in a major film, you might at least make an effort in helping her understand that when she plays the young daughter/niece of a badly-wounded film character that she ought to show at least a smidgen of emotion related to having a close family member lying hurt in a hospital. Capito? Isabelle reacts without emotion to having her mother/aunt lying in hospital all banged up, and yet only minutes later the director expects us to get emotionally involved in a scene in which Britton prepares to announce to Isabelle that she is her mother. If Isabelle didn't care about her "former" mother's car-crash then how the Hell will she care about who her real mother is! Duh.Speaking of nepotism, Josh Brolin. Josh Brolin doing an English accent. Need I even mention how horrible he's done it? I just did. Josh Brolin getting knocked off only 5 minutes after his first appearance: now, that was a nice touch. I was afraid I might have to watch him for an extensive period, as a major character in this rather enjoyable (semi-)comedy – which would then have become significantly less enjoyable had his presence extended beyond those mercifully short minutes (made a little sweeter through that blond actress).Although all four above-mentioned beauties are very good in WIT, I would stick out Adrienne Palicki, with her funny portrayal of a semi-retarded porno actress. Plus, in spite of being much taller than the other three, she managed to come off as the cutest one. Very tall yet cute? Not a mean feat by any means. Producers should be hyping Palicki, showering her with movie offers right now, instead of focusing all their undivided attention on the promotion of various mediocre nepotistic offspring such as Olivia Wilde or Zooey Dechanel. But that's how cinema and TV work; you scratch my kid's back, I scratch your kid's back. All in the family, and right into the sewer goes the quality.It's unfortunate that Gutierrez chose to let the comedy take a backseat to schmaltzy, totally needless drama. Seb, if you stick 4-5 beauties into a movie then that means you're catering to a MALE audience, not a female one. Sticking women no-one wants to see, such as Streep, Close or Dern - THAT would be targeting a female audience, and then you could make it all drama as far as I'm concerned (coz I wouldn't' watch it anyway, obviously). Your male viewers don't want soppy drama, they want something a little more entertaining and intelligent than that. (Yes, even f**t jokes are more intellectually stimulating than a woman crying in front of the camera.)The last third of WIT sees the movie coming to a standstill almost, with a lot of tiresome sobbing and needless hugging. This, and Isabelle Gutierrez, are the reasons I rated WIT lower than I otherwise would have. .

Sebastian Gutierrez wrote, produced, and directed this very frisky, funny look at a group of women, gay and straight, living in modern-day Los Angeles, centering on a conflicted porn star who has recently found out she's pregnant. The filmmaker (who has previously worked with Pedro Almodóvar) is fearless in delineating these sexual ruminations, some of which are truly out-there; he has also managed to gain the confidence of his eclectic cast, many of whom give superlative performances. Obviously not for all tastes but, for open-minded viewers, a comedic and dramatic challenge--accompanied by a nasty tickle. Final interview scene (after the end-credits) is especially funny. **1/2 from ****

An odd but strangely compelling indie comedy, "Women in Trouble" does just what the title suggests; it puts an assortment of lovely ladies into humorously dire predicaments. Two women, Connie Britton ("Friday Night Lights") and the newly pregnant porn star Elektra (Carla Gogina), are stuck together in a stalled elevator; Adrianne Palicki (also of "Friday Night Lights") and Emmanuelle Chrichi are sex workers who witness a crime and have to run to safety; Sarah Clarke ("24") is a therapist whose husband ("The Mentalist"'s Simon Baker) is having an affair with one of her patients; and Marley Shelton is an engaged stewardess who's unfortunate enough to have the rock star (Josh Brolin) who's performing sex on her in the airplane bathroom die when the plane hits turbulence. The story lines, which seem disparate at first glance, do manage to dovetail into one another by movie's end.As written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, the situations are played for both humor and sentiment, as we get to see just some of the absurd things women are forced to go through on a daily basis. And in each case, it seems, the women who are "in trouble" are aided by other women who are in trouble, essentially leading to a special bond of womanhood that helps get them through tough times. The dialogue is generally sharp and witty without ever becoming denigrating or smart-alecky, and the situations the women find themselves in are just absurd enough to keep them from becoming soap-operatic but realistic enough to make us care.As with most movies that engage in multiple plot lines, some of the stories and some of the scenes are better than others, and, honestly, the film might have benefited from a little less cleverness and a little more focus overall. Still, it has its moments.
