"Funny, Smart And Fascinating" -New York Post

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!

Story Synopsis:
The story is cute, the ensemble cast is fabulous, and Lyle Lovett’s music is, as always, terrific, but be prepared...having to listen to the high-pitched chit-chatterings of all those women in Dr. Travis’s (Gere) gynecological office waiting room is as bad as, well, sitting around a gynecological office waiting room. Dr. T & The Women follows the popular physician as he watches his wife (Fawcett) sink into madness, as he copes with his daughter’s lesbianism, a pending wedding, and lots and lots of needy patients. (Laurie Sevano)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits a picture that is quite pleasing in all aspects of image quality. Colors are well balanced throughout, with hues that are easy-on-the-eyes. Fleshtones are accurate, and blacks are deep and solid. Contrast and shadow delineation are pleasing throughout. While fine details shimmer on occasion, in clothing, or even the steering column of a golf cart for instance, distractions like edge enhancement are minimal, if noticed at all. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is dialogue and music-centric, with a subtle sense of spaciousness at times, but usually is characterized as predominating from the screen channels. Fidelity is rather good, and the sonic presentation is comfortable to the ears at reference level. Voices have been recorded with natural tonality and noteworthy integration with the visuals. The low-end is expectedly limited for this film’s genre. (Perry Sun)
