This remake of François Truffaut's 1977 comedy misses out on Truffaut's subtext that delves into the nature of love and instead simply recounts the sexual and romantic exploits of David, a sculptor who is an incurable womanizer (Burt Reynolds). In order to come to grips with his obsession for women, David goes to see a psychiatrist, Marianna (Julie Andrews), and sure enough, she later joins him on the couch. His tale is told by Marianna, as flashbacks reveal their relationship and other loves of David's life, most notably Louise (Kim Basinger), a married woman hooked on intimacy in odd, if not dangerous, places. In all these relationships, David is as much attracted to the women as they are to him. Unfortunately, with flat dialogue and uninspired comedy, David fares better than the film as a whole. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Blake Edwards and Burt Reynolds reimagine François Truffaut's classic romantic comedy-drama with this film, which has been given a simple, but workmanlike, presentation on DVD. The Man Who Loved Women has been given two transfers to disc for this release: a letterboxed version in the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1 (which is also enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16 x 9 monitors) and a pan-and-scan transfer in the full-screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono. In addition to the original English-language soundtrack, an alternate French-dubbed track has been included, as well as optional subtitles in English and French. No additional bonus materials have been added for this edition. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
