The First Wives Club (1996)
Pretty much every woman in America has seen this movie, but if the ’90s passed you by or you were too young at the time to enjoy it, gather up a bunch of your girlfriends and throw a party. Anyone who has been left for a younger woman, bring over a bottle of wine for movie night and start planning your revenge.
The First Wives Club is very funny, but it doesn’t start out that way. A group of four friends from college (who have now lost touch many years later) are shocked by one woman’s suicide. Stockard Channing was despondent because her husband married a younger woman, and she kills herself. The remaining three friends are barely in better shape. When they each receive a letter from Stockard instructing them to start the First Wives Club and get their dignity back, they learn to lean on each other for support.
The three ladies (Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler) try to exact revenge from their exes and their new squeezes; Victor Garber has chosen Elizabeth Berkley, Stephen Collins has chosen Marcia Gay Harden, and Dan Hedaya has chosen Sarah Jessica Parker. You’ll also see Maggie Smith, Eileen Heckart, Philip Bosco, Heather Locklear, J.K. Simmons, Rob Reiner, Kathie Lee Gifford, Ivana Trump, and Gloria Steinem.
Whether you’re depressed, angry, bitter, jealous, or completely over your betrayal, this movie will help you realize your life isn’t over – and that you’re still attractive, even if your husband or boyfriend had a temporary lapse in judgement. Gather up your friends and get the party started.
