"Charms for the Easy Life" is a pretty awful low budget Showtime flick about a 1940's North Carolina woman who the film would have us believe is ahead of her time. Rowlands plays protagonist "Charlie Kate", a midwife, herbalist, and matriarch who preaches feminism, self reliance, and common sense. An unfortunate adaptation, "Charms...." is bland, scripted, stagey, uneventful, and downright boring. Completely predictable with everything right on cue, there's little meat on the bones of this naive chick flick which is not likely to be much appreciated beyond some more mature females. (D+)
