baphomet93 Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn get divorced by their respective husbands. They team up to see "justice" done to their horrible husbands. What follows is a cavalcade of theft, extortion and blackmail wrapped in the idea that these women are "empowering" themselves. One might imagine it might be more empowering to take their monthly alimony checks and make a new life for themselves. Were one to make a movie about three men who dedicate their time to making the lives of the women who dumped them as miserable as possible but draining away all their wives money and even getting a little violent, such a film would hardly be considered funny. This film is, if anything, a glaring example of the double standard perpetrated by women in society today and I find nothing funny about hypocrisy.

chris-malad This movie has no depth, no meaning and no direction... I would have expected more than below average from these actresses. It just looks like these fading actresses have paid someone to make this movie so that they can have some more time under the spotlight. The script is utterly disgusting and absolutely noting as far as acting is concerned. 1:42 mins of disappointment.... you wait for something average to turn up, although going by the way this movie goes, it does not look like there will be anything above average, still going by these actresses track records, you hope for them that something the movie will take a turn for the good.

phd_travel This movie works because it uses each of it's leads in the way that best suits them and makes them shine. Three excellent comedians at their best. It's funny even the second time for all the funny details. A real feel good movie when their ex husbands get their just desserts.Goldie Hawn is in a role she is best for doing a diva actress who isn't afraid of making fun of herself. Diane Keaton Bette Midler has a good showcase for her sharp humor. Even SJP pre Sex and the City is good as the second wife. The men are well cast too. Stephen Collins as a cheating spouse, a role he has played well several times before is just right. Nice cameos from Maggie Smith and Ivana Trump and Marcia Gay Harden.

jerrilynnbthomas 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.
