(Dr. T) Richard Gere is perfectly cute for Dr. T. I'm really not that jealous of Gere here being basically besieged by beautiful babes because I like him so much. He deserves it, he's awesome. It could have easily been worse, way worse, like, Billy Bob Thornton worse.(the Women) Where do I start? Let's just start with the most beautiful one, Helen Hunt. I love Helen Hunt. She is so hot and so perfect and so sweet, seriously. What a babe. A golf date followed by dinner and wine at her place, sign me up, please, please, sign me up. Helen shows Dr. T a passing look at her unbelievable body getting into the shower. Whoa, Helen. The shot looks good off the tee, it's in the air, and it looks like it's gonna be a hole-in-one...and it's in the hole! Farrah Fawcett, the classic beauty. Fawcett, just in her 50s, takes the name 'strip mall' a little too literally as she playfully strips down in the middle of a crowded shopping mall fountain. OMG, wow. Farrah is just to die for. I love her. At this point, I'm just now learning who Lee Grant is. I likey. Definitely now gonna check out her past movies. Janine Turner, 'You look absolutely fantastic actually. You do, you look just wonderful, just great. Does anyone tell you that lately?" Oh, they did, well does anyone tell you that you have a sweet butt lately? Oh, they did, my nurse, my bookkeeper and my receptionist, all in the last 10 minutes? 'Well then it must be true.' Mmh huh...it's true. Shelley Long is next and thanks to arriving at Shelley Long you will have to excuse me for a second while I lift and dump this giant 5-gallon bucket of ice water on my crotch for getting through all these women so far. Just kidding, but geeeeez. I almost forgot how sexy this movie is. Okay, back to work. Shelley Long is so ultra-cute. Long easily makes me laugh. I love hearing her Texas accent. Speaking of Texas accents, holy Laura Dern! Speaking of really funny, too. Dern is so sweet. So hot, too. So good actress too. You know, sometimes I think, and it would be really, really hard if I had to pick between one of these, insanely beautiful women..........NOOOOOOTTT! Kate Hudson is so easily the 1 that I choose. Hudson looks prettyyy darn cute at cheerleading practice. Kate Hudson is the best. I love Kate Hudson. Liv Tyler is really beautiful too. I would definitely choose her 2nd. God I love her. Lol! This movie doesn't quit. Liv is real. Steven Tyler's daughter and Goldie Hawn's daughter kissing is very cool. Tara Reid is last but she is definitely not least. Tara is way too cool and way too pretty and way too smart. I love her. Man, writing this review has taken its toll on me. Being a doctor must be really hard.

I'm out of sync with the world on some of the later Altman films. While I liked 'Cookie's Fortune' less than most folks, I liked this more. I found it funny, sweet, and it contains one of Richard Gere's very best performances. The much maligned last 20 minutes are indeed a mixed bag. However, personally I liked the symbolic, surreal conclusion, even if some of the plot twists leading up to it felt clunky, and didn't make a lot of sense.The bottom line is, this is certainly more original and thought-provoking than most modern movies. And that's enough to win a lot of brownie points from me

Dr. T and the Women was boring, trite, shallow and full of cliché. To me Altman is, like Martin Scorcese, a highly over rated director. I did not see any depth to the movie at all and it was so predictable. The acting sucked, especially from Laura Dern, who is never good. The situations were ridiculous. For example, like my wife said, no woman goes to see her gynecologist that often. Just because Dee and Marilyn became liberated lesbians and because Bree dumped Dr T in the end does not make the original or deep in anyway. And trying to fill the story with mostly women added no depth either. In fact there was not a single relationship (male/female, male/male, female/female) that had any depth to it. You need to shelve this movie Mr. Altman and really try to make a movie that has some depth. I will take a Kurosawa, Chaplin, Eastwood, or even Spielberg movie over any of yours.

If you've never seen a Robert Altman film except Dr. T and the Women, you may wonder why there was so much press about his passing a week or two ago. Altman was considered a superbly talented and artistic film maker, but you would never know it from watching the dreadful Dr. T.Another reviewer on this site said not to expect "Pretty Woman," an immensely popular Garry Marshall flick with Richard Gere. The reviewer is right. While Pretty Woman was a repulsive story of gold-hearted whores, making a gajillion bucks from Gere-loving women looking for sweet, gold-plated romance, DTATW is an unfunny, unromantic, tedious story of pampered UMC types, circling around Gere, a befuddled and oh-so-handsome gynecologist who has a psychotic wife, two bordering-on-bizarre daughters, and a budding relationship with Helen Hunt, the only woman in Dallas who isn't a neurotic and hopelessly dependent hausfrau or wannabe.Other than the feeble attempt at providing some prurient pleasure for the boys with Farrah Fawcett and Helen Hunt naked (at different times) in the background, only a hopeless metrosexual could sit through this. For the ladies, Gere looks godlike, as usual, and Robert Hays has lost his geekiness from the Airplane movies and has settled into a nice, handsome middle age.But a glimpse of skin here and Gere looking exasperated there does not a pleasant time make. There's no point to Dr. T., no center, and unless you enjoy watching Gere fall for and be manipulated by Hunt (not a bad thing if she were on the up-and-up), I can't think of anything less enjoyable than watching Altman's disastrous "women's movie." Except for putting your feet in those stirrups (I have been told).
