There's a little Magic Mike XXL in the mix of How to Please a Woman, with its merry band of eager-to-please strippers, although How to Please a Woman also hearkens back to The Full Monty in its surprisingly profound look at pleasure. Read full review

Film ThreatAli ArkaniJul 22, 2022
How to Please a Woman is not the usual romantic comedy that everyone expects to see these days. It is trying to connect with a specific audience, and I think it is successful in doing so. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayAug 1, 2022
How to Please a Woman is overlong; and it runs out of plot well before it gets to its climax (so to speak). But while its premise is at times iffy, the movie as a whole has a refreshing randiness about it. Read full review

The TelegraphTim RobeyJul 19, 2022
The oddity, and pretty much sole selling point here, is Phillips, a delightful stalwart of British telly for years, fronting a coy Australian sex comedy of almost dogged, determined mediocrity. Writer-director Renée Webster is at least to be credited with grasping her star’s flummoxed appeal in a rare leading role. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJul 19, 2022
How to Please a Woman may play to its target audience, giving voice to female relationship frustrations and the like. But as pleasantly drab as it generally is, I dare say it won’t please any gender, any where. Read full review
