Loose-limbed and casual even for a Robert Altman movie, Dr. T & the Women has a sly, offhanded wit that makes up for its ramshackle structure. Richard Gere's eponymous gynecologist seems the model of success: his office is packed daily with the cream of Dallas's society matrons clamoring for an appointment, his home life is blessed with loving wife Farrah Fawcett and daughters Tara Reid and Kate Hudson, and when he needs a break from the estrogen congestion there are always weekends to be spent with his trio of hunting buddies. But on a trip to the mall to shop for Hudson's upcoming nuptials, Fawcett strips naked and leaps about in a waterfall. Her subsequent incarceration in a mental hospital (she's diagnosed with the fictional "Hestia complex," suffering from receiving too much affection) along with the ongoing preparations for the wedding barely make a dent in Gere's charming, compassionate demeanor. Then his golf course hires a new female pro who's everything the other women in his life are not--independent, self-confident, Helen Hunt--and Dr. T finds himself with yet another woman to love. Though the minor characters are mostly nasty little caricatures, the film is not the bitter misogynistic rant its detractors claim it is; the problems in Dr. T's life are placed squarely on his own inability to see that women don't need his genteel protection, and Gere perfectly captures this sweet yet condescending blind spot. --Bruce Reid

Do not waste your time.......2007-07-24
My biggest regret was not reading these reviews before I rented this colossal waste of time. I realize that most rentals are impulsive and we can't plan out our lives to go and browse Amazon reviews before renting, especially older stock like this seven year old garbage, but still...I have wasted my money so hopefully you don't have to.
No redeeming qualities about this movie at all. Sadly, I'm amazed at some of the reviewers saying that it is worth it to see Farrah Fawcett or Helen Hunt naked. And you admit this freely? Put away the tissues and get out of your parent's basement right now! The rest of you, avoid this. Despite some great actors and a reknowned director, this is not good. No characters to like - not one, a ridiculous plot, and an ending that is satisfying only because it is the rotten cherry on this terrible cake, so at least the ending is as bad as the rest of it.
The most bothersome thing is that you have reviewers who rate this so highly on the cover of the dvd, a shameful act of shilling for garbage that makes you doubt the integrity of the reviewer.
Another Entertaining Movie from Robert Altman.......2006-07-14
I've seen several of Robert Altman's movies (MASH, Popeye, Gosford Park, Nashville, A Prairie Home Companion, The Player) and have enjoyed them. Dr. T & The Women is no exception. I really enjoyed Richard Gere's character and empathized with him throughout. The ending is strange (like Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia", as others have pointed out), but I would rather have that ending than something depressing. I want to see more of Altman's movies after watching this one.
not to bright.......2006-06-03
ok, the movie isnt too bad, but why would you charge $33 for something you can get for $5 in new condition at Walmart? You rip ppl off, your not to smart, and the ppl that buy it are just retarded!
Not a bad flick.......2006-04-14
I really don't know what all the hype is about. This movie is not as bad as these reviewers are protraying it. It is a bit slow at first but I found it quite funny. You people need to get a sense of humour. The only surprise was the graphic child birth scene. It was a bit too much in that respect. I would recommend seeing the movie, especially if you're a Richard Gere fan like I am.
Not good.......2005-11-07
I wonder why Richard Gere accepts these roles in movies with no plots and sense. I just watched on TV because there was nothing better, I can't belive that actresses like Liv Tyler are on these movies, she has talent to make better movies. I want somebody to explain me the movie.

Description
In director Robert Altman's star-studded new ensemble comedy, Richard Gere is a frantically overworked, socially in-demand gynecologist whose life is coming apart at the seams. His wife (Farrah Fawcett) has regressed into a childlike state, while one daughter (Tara Reid) is raising suspicions about the relationship between his soon-to-be-married other daughter (Kate Hudson) and her maid of honor (Liv Tyler). Meanwhile, just as his champagne-loving sister-in-law (Laura Dern) arrives with three nieces in tow, the doctor falls for the sexy new golf pro (Helen Hunt). As complications mount, the good doctor's life rapidly approaches the force of a Texas tornado!

Description
Actor Richard Gere and director Robert Altman discuss their latest film, Dr. T and the Women, which follows the story of a successful gynecologist, played by Gere, whose personal life is spinning out of control. Then, director Spike Lee talks about his new film, Bamboozled, about a Harvard-educated executive who creates a modern-day minstrel show that turns out to be a hit, the public's perception of him and his beloved Knicks.

Another Entertaining Movie from Robert Altman.......2006-07-14
I've seen several of Robert Altman's movies (MASH, Popeye, Gosford Park, Nashville, A Prairie Home Companion, The Player) and have enjoyed them. Dr. T & The Women is no exception. I really enjoyed Richard Gere's character and empathized with him throughout. The ending is strange (like Paul Thomas Anderson's "Magnolia", as others have pointed out), but I would rather have that ending than something depressing. I want to see more of Altman's movies after watching this one.

ok, the movie isnt too bad, but why would you charge $33 for something you can get for $5 in new condition at Walmart? You rip ppl off, your not to smart, and the ppl that buy it are just retarded!

I really don't know what all the hype is about. This movie is not as bad as these reviewers are protraying it. It is a bit slow at first but I found it quite funny. You people need to get a sense of humour. The only surprise was the graphic child birth scene. It was a bit too much in that respect. I would recommend seeing the movie, especially if you're a Richard Gere fan like I am.
Not good.......2005-11-07
I wonder why Richard Gere accepts these roles in movies with no plots and sense. I just watched on TV because there was nothing better, I can't belive that actresses like Liv Tyler are on these movies, she has talent to make better movies. I want somebody to explain me the movie.
