How to Please a Woman

Finally watched this film, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely watch it again!

Real talk though, it is a film for women and for men who aren't scared of women being sexual beings. It has funny bits, serious bits and is sexualised in a fun way but is mostly a comedy in my eyes.

Seems like all the majority of bad reviews are from men or prudes. I literally made an IMBD account just to write this because people are butt hurt about "non-standard-pretty" women having a sexual life.

It's simple, if you don't like hearing or seeing things about women's sexuality then this movie is NOT for you.

It is shame that these fictional characters represent so many truths in a woman's life and the movie is being reviewed badly by those who can't handle a woman having a life outside of marriage or motherhood.

I thoroughly enjoyed this simple comedy that was nicely written, wonderfully performed and directed, and very believable as a real-life experience. Sally Philips is very good in her role as a business owner of an all-male cleaning service. No, she is not fronting for a male escort service, although I am sure that came to the mind of several of the viewers initially. She is legit, as is her business. That is what makes the movie really funny. Had they tried the escort angle, it would not have worked as well in my opinion. Better to have a woman with a midlife crisis, than a madam with questionable motivations. A fun film.

I like to watch Aussie movies as an Aussie and did not know this was one when chosen on Apple TV, it was not predictable, had many funny moments and did not make me cringe with an over Aussie emphasis like some Aussie films can do. Some amazing female characters and a number of themes running through the movie. Enjoyed it, recommended.

This film is "fluff", but charming and enjoyable fluff. It differs from older films of the same sort---sexy romantic farce---because it can talk about sexual technique and use words that would have been taboo in the dark old days. The actors are good at their job, and clearly enjoyed their roles, but don't expect this to be in the Oscar lists. Is it improbable? No more than many romantic comedies. Anyone giving this less than 6/10 or more than 8/10 is clearly either prudish or surprised with the open everyday ways of dealing with sex today, respectively.

If this was scripted as a stage play rather than a film, it would be performed by amateur troops all over the place.

Ignore the low scores; presumably they were left by teenagers or men who are yet to evolve. This touches on themes common for women beyond their 20s (and possibly 30s). Funny, heartwarming, light and shade. And challenges misconceptions.

It works perfectly as an Australian film; done perfectly with tongue in cheek humour, but not cringey. Believable, and I was cheering for the main character. And I started to wonder if there's an opportunity in the market for this service, and considered if they'd franchise the brand. Ha ha

I don't usually review a film, but given the low score I had to wade in and join the chorus - get a group of women together and enjoy it!

Winner!!
