Lots of stars in this movie that some people will find special!

This should have been made into a TV series...it kind of reminded me of Friends.

Duane S. (superpoet) from FORT WORTH, TX Reviewed on 7/25/2008...
This is a very sweet story of 4 women who are lonely, and who learn to be better friends in a New York apartment building. Shirley is a female "old biddy" who likes to be left alone and is extremely critical. Liza plays the role of the simpering spinster, who grovels for any bit of kindness from Shirley. Kathy Bates is the philosopher-type bag lady and is hilarious. Jennifer comes into their lives, fresh from a divorce, aspiring to become an actress. They try to get her a boyfriend and an acting job. She runs away from all this devotion. See it to find out out it ends . It's great!

Movie Reviews
Star Power in Manhattan
Paris Huang | Washington, DC United States | 12/02/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The film is full with star power. The four wonderful actresses did a good job in this film. Shirley MacLaine's role was played by Katheryn Herpburn in the stage version. But they are both great !!
It surprised me to see Liza plays a conservative old-maiden. However interesting!! She is totally different from all other roles she had in other films.
It is a nice and light film for a nice evening and will make you feel comfortable after seeing it."
Winning!

"Delightful little film with heartwarming performance by all 3 Academy Award Winning actresses. The only reason I'm giving this movie 4 stars is for the uneven transfer."
Incomplete

"It was a big waste of talent. None of the characters are developed..you never feel as you know or care to know them. Too bad. Each actress was doing her best, but it doesn't make up for the poor screen play and direction."
A Believable Story with Believable People with Believable Em

"I grew up on the upper West Side. I lived at the "Beresford," just a few blocks from the "Ansonia" the apartment/hotel represented in the film. I knew people just like this bunch of characters who shared similar problems in life. It was like "going home." Nicely acted. It could have been so overdone, but everything felt real. Really!!!"
