From acclaimed writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez comes an outrageous, genre-bending, multi-layered comedy about one day in the lives of ten seemingly disparate women - including a porn star, a flight attendant, a psychiatrist, a masseuse, a bartender and a pair of call girls -- all with one thing in common: trouble. Carla Gugino ("Sin City") stars as Elektra Luxx, a world-famous porn star whose future is thrown for a loop with the news that she's pregnant and Adrianne Palicki ("Friday Night Lights") is Holly Rocket, a not-too-bright adult industry newcomer with an inconvenient aversion to girl-girl action. Their paths intersect with, among others, a hilariously suave British Rock Star (Josh Brolin), a bright neurotic with a dark past (Connie Britton, "Friday Night Lights") and a call girl with a tricky client (Emmanuelle Chriqui, "Entourage"). The talented cast also includes Marley Shelton (“Grindhouse”), Simon Baker (“The Mentalist”), and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ('500 Days Of Summer"). WOMEN IN TROUBLE had its premiere at the 2009 SXSW Film Festival. --© Screen Media [More]

This forced, charmless multi-character movie pretends to show women in all their glorious variety, but it really just traffics in the same old cliches.

Women in Trouble has sleeper written all over it and a sequel is already in the works.

Mr. Gutierrez, as suggested by all the décolletage, appears to be a breast man. Too bad he didn’t set his sights higher.

Unlikely accidents, shared secrets and zany twists combine to whip up a pleasing froth.

The attractive cast, notably the earthy Gugino, tries hard to invest the one-note characters with a degree of humanity, but are betrayed at every turn by the thin material.

Women in Trouble awkwardly mixes blue material with sob stories.

This exuberantly uninhibited indie has the anything-goes spirit of something tossed off in a single burst of collaborative energy.

Gutierrez's script can't supply female characters as believable as Almodovar's, but in the director's chair he gives his cast room to compensate with funny, self-aware performances.
