Wow. So THIS is where all the chick-flicks originated from! Just kidding, but this really is the ultimate chick flick. It's mostly about a group of 8 women, or so, gossiping and being deceitful towards their "friends" but almost every woman can relate.

It's a very cute movie, with a couple of laughs and you do pity the main character, but near the end, I just felt like yelling "either go get your man, or move on" because it had been over 2 years, so you'd think she'd figure it out by then.

Honestly, I did not like Norma Shearer in this movie all that much. Of course, it may had been her character, but I think someone else could've done a better job. It felt as though she jumped her emotions too quickly, so you actually may have got confused.

Nothing really to complain about, moved quite quickly for movies back in the '30s, and the length wasn't bad. I think it'll be a good movie for anyone who likes chick flicks, or Joan Crawford, because, as usual, she was amazing in this film!
