Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

bensonmum2 Most of the shorts I watch are courtesy of MST3K or Rifftrax. While I enjoy the humor, I try to dismiss the comedy when I rate and write about these things and focus on the short itself. My rating on shorts is usually based on how effective it is in conveying its message and any entertainment I got out of it. As for The Trouble with Women, I think it does a pretty good job of presenting its message - that being the problems the supervisor, Brad, is having with women are the same he'd have with men. Everyone, regardless of gender, misses work for weddings, has to be trained to do a new job, and isn't crazy about change in the workplace. Brad is so biased against women, he can't see it that way. So, the short effectively, but subtly, delivers its message.As far as entertainment goes, Brad is quite funny. Watching him get his panties in a bunch over working with women is fairly funny. The acting helps. Others have mentioned Nora Denny in the role of Myrtle. It's easy to see that she's a "real" actress. I'm also pretty sure I've seen some of the other uncredited actors in this short in other things. The guy that plays Brad's boss is looks horribly familiar to me. There's also Chet Davis in the role of Brad. He plays the put-upon boss quite well.To sum it all up, the short effectively delivers its message and is reasonably entertaining in doing so. A 5/10 from me.

bob the moo The only user comment here seems to miss the point of this short training package and it also surprised me to see it voted so negatively by users who have seen it. Is it a great film? No, of course not, but how many industrial training videos are? This film is based on training material provided by Alcoa – the large aluminum producer; whether it was a script they provided or if they commissioned the video I don't know, but the credits put them as the source. To watch the film with no context perhaps gives the wrong impression because it is essentially 5 minutes of old school supervisor Brad Bradshaw complaining to his boss about yet another woman employee being assigned to his section.He quotes them leaving to get married, refusing to move workstations once they get settled and also being absent from work so he needs to train up cover people. The film spends the majority of its time on this before his boss sends him back with the message that really these problems are not woman-specific. The film ends at that point more or less with a question for the class, at which point a room full of Brad's would be forced to question themselves and understand that management issues with women are just management issues – no women issues. In a way the title and the content can be taken as being a bit negative, but viewed as a starting point for a training room discussion it is actually quite an encouraging film because Brad's complains are typically real but also unfounded in the gender issue. Although this is very small steps compared to current situations, it is also encouraging to see a manufacturing firm putting equality forward to the point of creating training material which others then adopted. Also interesting when you consider that one of the newest Alcoa plants (in Iceland) is 50/50 male/female at all levels of the organization and has a female General Manager.Not a great short film but a nice piece of training material at a time when it really was needed to try and shake off the old industrial notions and preconceptions on women in the workplace.

emasterslake This is basically a film they made to point out the trouble about male workers have on female workers. Particularly this has to do with a male worker complaining to his boss that their company doesn't need another female employee in their work force. He gives out reasons like the habits, conditions, and situations that go about on the women that work at the company. And at the end the guy was told by his boss, he needs to learn to accept the new employee regardless of what gender that person is. After the short ends, it's suppose to make those who watch it discuss what could of been done for the guy to work out his problem.The only way I was able to see this short was off of Rifftrax which has the short for 99 cents. I also found it really humorous with Mike, Kevin, & Bill making fun of the engineer company and the employee who has issues towards women being employees of his company.The only cool thing about this short is it features the same actress who played Mike Teevee's mom in the original Wonka film. This is also her first acting role as well. Other than that this short fails to make a point and is best made fun of from Rifftrax.
