(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.

Okay, a of people didn't like it, it is not a crowd pleaser. But I did. First off, I like Robert Altman & his movies. Also, it was set in Texas and leads were all Texan except for one but it never degenerated into worn out Texan stereotype land, good or bad. But it did play on the hyper over bred Southern belle & all her neurotic twisted traits. Basically Dr Sullivan Travis, Sully or Dr. T,(Richard Gere) is a handsome successful, well mannered friendly gynecologist surrounded by beautiful women who desire and admire him. He is an idealist who has the most romantic loving, but paternalistic view of women. Even the opening scene was hilarious with his busy office full of patients and staff degenerated from friendly service to bickering chaos during the opening credits.Trouble, is Sully, is going to be shown up with his well meaning idealism. His wife Kate, (Farrah Fawcett) develops this childish regression, the "Hestia Complex" because she is an over pampered, over loved, over doted over Southern belle. Then his super vixen daughter, who is going to be married in some upper class lush ceremony. turns out to be gay and is really in love with the main bridesmaid, the one non Texan. Since Sully's wife is now committed, and she has rejected or forgotten her whole loving family, Sully tried to find consolation with the new golf pro Bree, but she is too modern to be one of pampered belles that Sully has been conditioned to love and care for. Okay the movie spirals from seeming normalcy to a crazy ending with a botched wedding thrown in. It is a good movie and kept my interest through it all.If there is any message to it, it is don't be a vapid Southern belle and get a life.

If you showed this movie to the survivors of the Rwandan genocide and asked them which was worse, seeing their families hacked to death with machetes or watching Dr. T and the Women…only some of them would choose the machetes.Dr. T (Richard Gere) is a gynecologist in Dallas, Texas. He has a wife (Farrah Fawcett) who's gone crazy, a daughter (Kate Hudson) who's getting married, another daughter (Tara Reid) who is half plot-device and half lame joke about the Kennedy assassination, a sister-in-law (Laura Dern)who is a lush and a horde of yapping women who jam his waiting room like it's an overstuffed hothouse of demanding Southern Belles. Though he's drowning in a stormy sea of estrogen, Dr. T is an insanely, sickeningly perfect man who is totally understanding of all of the crazy feminine behavior that buffets him every day. His only respite from it all are hunting trips with his buddies and an affair with the new golf pro at his country club, Bree (Helen Hunt).Like many Robert Altman films, the plot of this movie just sort of slowly spreads out in all directions like vomit on a bare floor. There's also enough trademarked Altman-babble in this thing to choke even his most devoted fans. Dr. T and the Woman is morally confused, emotionally phony, head-slappingly contrived and has an ending so stupid and bizarre that it would take an entire team of mental health professionals to figure out what the hell Altman was thinking. If there was ever a film that could be introduced at a competency hearing as evidence of senile dementia, it's this one.In fairness, most of the acting here is very mannered but relatively okay. The best performance actually comes from Shelley Long as Dr. T's long-suffering head nurse. She's funny and lively and the most enjoyable person on screen, until her character is brutally sacrificed on the altar of Altman's barnacle encrusted sense of humor. Helen Hunt might have been just as good as the independent Bree, but after creating the character it's really damn clear Altman didn't have the slightest idea what to do with her.If you're still not clear on how awesomely bad Dr. T and the Women is, Helen Hunt gets briefly but clearly naked in it and it's still unwatchable. That's right. It makes naked Helen Hunt unappealing. That's a magical feat on the order of turning lead into gold, which would make Robert Altman the master alchemist of cinematic suck.Now, if some Altman fans happen to stumble upon this review, I can already hear their excuses about how his films aren't meant to be conventionally entertaining and you have to appreciate his creative vision and I just don't "get it" and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The fact that several decades ago he injected some juice into American movies should not give Altman a get-out-of-jail-free card for the rest of his career. The fact that he keeps recycling the same old bag of tricks is not creative vision. It's a guy who doesn't have anything new to say as a storyteller.This movie is terrible. Even if you've liked some of Altman's other work, do not watch it.

Five years on since I saw this movie, I am still wondering why it was ever made. I sat in the cinema in shock. I only watched this movie to the end because I thought there must be a reason why all these A-list actors agreed to be in it, and there must be a "point" to all this horrendous mess, which would hopefully be made clear at the end. But no such luck. I completely wasted two hours of my life. Worse than that, this movie is such a insult to women, and all humanity, it left me a lasting psychological wound that still makes me angry today.To be fair, the only culprit is the script. The acting was fine. I can only assume Richard Gere and Helen Hunt did it for the money. The story is utterly pointless and worthless. The movie depicts all women as selfish psychos and, by respecting them, Richard Gere loses everything in life. By the way, I'm a man and I was more offended and disgusted by this movie than my wife was.
