Wow! Such a good movie.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ever since I've seen this movie for the very first time (even if I didn't completely understand its meaning, as I was just a small kid), I certainly adored this movie. Now that I'm older, I can see how desolating feelings Cynthia had to feel before she made the last step in her life, how frustrated Elis had to be when her husband was coming up clean yet again, how scared Annie had to be when the whole thing started to fall to ruin under her hands, and how terribly alone Brenda felt when she was trying to make a living, scrambling for every dollar. Yet, all three women come together again, and with their united powers will get their revenge, as well as make something amazing for all the women who get into the same situation they themselves were in.This is definitely a favourite of mine, and I watch this movie every time I hit a low point.

I just finished watching The First Wives Club on HBO for the hundredth time. I absolutely love the movie. I love the team work. It's so nice to have a movie where the women are not jealous of each other and trying to bring each other down. The soundtrack is fantastic as well. As a child of divorce who watched her father move on to another woman and leave his family to flounder while he prospered, I totally understand the need of the women to make their husbands understand the damage they've done.The First Wives Club is a feel good movie that entertains and motivates you to rise above your problems to do good for others.

I really like this film. Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, Diane Keaton, and Stockard Channing have been friends for years and all have something in common - cheating, flaky husbands. So far, so cliché.But the 'First Wives Club' is an inspired bit of fluff, fun, perceptive, and full of high spirits. These forty-something ladies replaced by younger models aren't going to take their fate lying down, and what a hoot it is watching them set up their outfit to take fickle men to the cleaners.OK, the film is a little sexist, with a one-dimensional view of both men and women; but it succeeds as entertainment. Some of the supporting caricatures are simply hideous, but work well. You can also spot stars of the future such as Sarah Jessica Parker in smaller roles.If you take this film for what it is, you'll probably enjoy it. It's one of those films that you'll either love or hate - but with this calibre of cast it's worth a look.

That's it.You'll thank me later for saving you the cost of renting this truly appalling movie starring three women who all know men better than to really believe this pseudo - feminist horse puckie. And it's not even true to its outrageous premise because they all take their exes back in the end.... And its got Maggie Smith in it.My cup runneth over. Miss Midler is very loud and Jewish,Miss Hawn scatty and blond,Miss Keaton fragile and WASP.How daring is that? There is a scene on a window cleaner's hoist that is so long and unfunny I was holding my head in my hands by the end of it. Does Miss Midler get to sing "The wind beneath my wings"?You'll have to watch it to find out,but if you're rather hoping she does then "The first Wives' club" may well be right up your street.
