The First Wives Club is a funny and charming film. Bette Midler, Diane Keaton, and Goldie Hawn have terrific chemistry together. I love the premise of the film and also look for Sarah Jessica Parker and Elizabeth Berkley who play the younger women who have seduced their ex-husbands. I highly recommend checking this intelligent comedy out!

I love this movie. Great story, great cast. It's heartbreaking, it's really funny, and the music is good, too.
March 28, 2008**1/2 1996. Based on Olivia Goldsmith's The First Wives Club. and directed by Hugh Wilson. One nomination for the Oscar in the Best Music, Original Musical or Comedy Score category. Three wives dumped by their husbands decide to take revenge and found the First Wives Club. Weak and harmless comedy with three good actresses but, alas, with no director to guide them. Already forgotten.

Such a fun movie, with 3 great actresses. All three play off each other perfectly. Enjoy!
February 13, 2008Can someone PLEASE tell me why Elizabeth Berkely has top bill in this movie? With Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn on the bill, why does she even get honorable mention? This is a great movie, full of fun and full of tears. When three former schoolmates (and ex-wives) all find themselves being jerked around by their philandering husbands, they decide to take matters into their own hands and get a little 'first wives' justice. The result is a hilarious comedy where 3 former husbands find out just what slime balls they really are, and first wives don't simply go away when they get a bit old and baggy. Goldie is the best choice for the aging actress, Diane plays the mousy one who can't make a decision, and Bette is the connsumate Jewish housewife who finds herself replaced by a 20 year old bimbo who lives well, while she and her son struggle to make the rent. Maggie Smith lends her considerable talent to this movie, and the result is a hilarious comedy that evey jilted wife whishes she'd thought of. In the end, revenge isn't the sweetest thing, but friendship and outreach to other hurt women is. The music is great and fits each scene, A fun show for all.
