Brooke Shields stars as Wendy Healy, a high-powered movie mogul who can't get through a day without talking to (or lunching with) her best friends Nico Reilly (Kim Raver, 24) and Victory Ford (Lindsay Price, Beverly Hills, 90210). Nico is the editor of a high-end lifestyles magazine who is making up for her lack of a sex life at home by having an affair with a young photographer's assistant. Victory, the trio's single gal, is a fashion designer whose creations have fallen out of favor, but is adored by her rich boyfriend Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy). Each is a fixture on the annual 'New York's 50 Most Powerful Women' list, but their day-to-day problems of juggling careers with demanding personal lives (i.e., men!) are at the forefront of each episode. Speaking of which, just seven episodes make up this truncated debut season (thanks to the 2008 writers strike), which introduces the characters but doesn't really delve into what makes them tick. As superficial fluff, the show is a fun watch. Will Wendy's former nanny write a tell-all book? How does Nico juggle a husband she loves with a young lover she lusts after? And is Victory really so naive that she won't figure out that her ambitious assistant stole all her best designs? Shields is a charming actress with a decent knack for comedy and Price is good enough as the flaky friend. But with lines like, 'When they smell fear in this town, it's over,' it's Raver who lends passion and credibility to this series--which is much better than the so-so book on which it is based, but not yet up to the quality that made Sex and the City a must-see show. --Jae-Ha Kim Beyond Lipstick Jungle on DVD Get the Book More Brooke Shields Lipstick Jungle Downloads Stills from Lipstick Jungle (Click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - loved it i to live in australia, i started watching it when it aired over here but i missed the fourth episode, when i seen it on amazon already for sale i did not hesitate to buy it, i can't wait for season 2 Rating: - Yeah Season 2 starts in September!!!!

These girls are awesome. Rating: - Mary Ellen - PA Love, Love, Loved it! Can't wait for season 2 to see how the still adorable Andrew McCarthy gets out of the pickle he is in!! The gals were equally as wonderful too - I truly enjoyed this! Rating: - great show looking forward to season 2 what a fun show. Great characters portrayed by wonderful actors such as Andrew McCarthy. Am so looking forward to Season 2 beginning in alte September Rating: - Better Than You'd Think Like many others, I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the promos for "Lipstick Jungle." It basically looked like NBC's spin-off of "Sex and the City." After all, both shows are based on books by Candice Bushnell and both shows focus on the friendship between beautiful, successful women in NYC. But honestly, "Lipstick Jungle" is great on its own merit! The show's major strength lies in its leading ladies. All three actresses make their characters - and their relationships - believable. Their chemistry lends itself to the audience and you can see why their friendship works. I also really liked how the show focused on the women's careers. While the ladies of "Sex and the City" had powerful careers, not much time was spent on that aspect of their lives. "Lipstick Jungle," on the other hand, weaves its storylines around the women's jobs (instead of the men they love). It was refreshing to see such strong female characters talk about things beside their romantic entanglements. On the downside, some of the plot lines lacked originality and pizazz. Sometimes it felt as though the writers were going for "hip" or "scandalous" scenarios (i.e. threesomes) that just fell flat. These situations didn't work because they were too tame and, more importantly, other shows went there...years ago. For the most part, however, "Lipstick Jungle" is a solid show. It has everything successful TV needs: good acting, believable characters, and interesting stories. ...
