Watch The First Wives Club For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

As Good As It Gets

An Exercise In Nonsense

This was a chick flick in many respects, but not so sappy and irrational that it annoys you like other chick flicks do. All three leads are legitimately angry and the audience feels for them, because we've all been scorned (whether you're a man or a woman, but it will obviously speak to you more so if you are a woman).A dynamite cast and a great script make a great comedy, and The First Wives Club is just that. Having Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton together for a picture should guarantee that the film is going to be something special, and it is, a witty, breezy comedy about women getting even with their philandering spouses. Although the film can be perceived as very anti-men, it manages to even out the put-downs with some sparkling humour, even though the men in this film are portrayed as not very bright creatures. I think most of you will like this, but... beware men... we don't look good! Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

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.

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 never read the book, but my husband did, and he said the women in the movie were kinder than they were in the book... which I find hard to believe! These 3 women find themselves middle aged and in the middle of huge life changes, all brought about by the desertions and betrayals of the men they'd devoted their younger years to. They all sort of fall apart, but pull themselves together through friendship - and a new-found purpose. Their new purpose in life? To destroy the men who betrayed them. It's a very funny movie, not surprising, considering the all-star cast. They do an admirable job, not only of exacting revenge, but of rediscovering their friendships, and discovering exactly how strong they really are. I really enjoyed this movie, and so did my husband.
