Amazon.co.uk Review
The contrary streak in Robert Altman's work is particularly evident in Dr T & the Women, which casts Richard Gere as a smooth, upper-crust Dallas gynaecologist surrounded by dotty women. Surprisingly Gere does not play the sensitive seducer but a genuine admirer of women who is nevertheless progressively bewildered by the sheer number of neurotic females within his life. Dr Sullivan Travis (Gere) tries to cope with a wife (Farrah Fawcett) who reverts to childhood thanks to a rare psychological syndrome brought on by being loved and cared for too much, a sister-in-law (Laura Dern) who tipples and talks constantly as she tries to run the household, one daughter (Kate Hudson) who is about to have an elaborate wedding even though she is actually in love with a college friend (Liv Tyler) and another daughter (Tara Reid) who works in the local assassination conspiracy tourist industry, not to mention a nurse (Shelley Long) who is blindly in love with him and a deceptively sensible golf pro (Helen Hunt) who isn't. Unlike Gosford Park, this isn't major Altman--it draws a little too much on some of his earlier hits and sometimes twitters too close to low comedy--but it has many of his unique virtues: a sort of cynical warmth in entering an enclosed, oddball world (here, a side of Texas rarely seen on screen) and an uncanny ability to draw the best out of an apparently randomly assembled ensemble cast.

On the DVD: A flawless 1:2.35 letterboxed print, enhanced for 16x9. Otherwise, it's a very nice package. A commentary track assembles thoughts from Altman, screenwriter Anne Rapp and a large amount of the cast, all offering insight into the unusual way that Altman puts a film together and often throwing in surprising bits of information (that Farrah Fawcett was offered Basic Instinct but turned it down because of the nudity, though she has a tasteful clothes-off scene here). Also, a standard making-of short with more soundbites, the theatrical trailer, a few filmographies and a 15-minute to-camera interview with Altman. --Kim Newman

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst film ever made!, 9 Jul 2003
By A Customer
Once again another stinker from Robert Altman. It is incomprehensible to me how he manages to convince so many famous name actors to star in his films, especially when he manages to churn out such appalling rubbish as this film. Sadly not even they managed to improve the quality of his directing this time, as they have in his rare hits (Gosford Park, The Player, MASH).

To sum up this film consists of what seems like hours of inane babbling followed the most ridiculous (and revolting) endings I have ever seen.

Save your money, buy something else........anything else!

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice moral story, 14 Jun 2003
By A Customer
"Dr. T. and the Women" is the story of a gynaecologist under stress. Richard Gere plays Dr. T., who is a successful and popular gynaecologist who has a nice family and a seemingly perfect life. However, despite appearances, his life is life is slowly falling apart. His wife has a rare complex which is causing her to regress to a child-like state, his job is becoming very demanding and his daughter's wedding is approaching. Basically women are driving him crazy in both his professional and private life. It seems as if things can't get worse, but then he discovers that his daughter is a lesbian and her partner (Liv Tyler) is coming up for the wedding to be a bridesmaid.

That's when he meets a new women, one who won't drive him crazy. Helen Hunt plays a young golfer who brings some happiness back into Dr. T.'s life.

Dr. T. and the women is an interesting, moral film which tackles some difficult issues and leaces with a warm, happy feeling at the end.

1.0 out of 5 stars Under-cover tripe, 26 Jan 2006
By M. C. PETER "Careful in Kiel" (Kiel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've seen and liked a number of Altman's films, but this is one to avoid like the plague. Certainly of no interest whatsoever to the intelligent viewer. A poor storyline and even worse cinematography. Save your money, buy something else.
