Great movie. This is the the kind of thing you can watch, when you are catching up with mom. It's hilarious, empowering and a must watch for all the ladies. It's one of those movies that tell you, a woman doesn't need a man to be complete. What we all need and look for is companionship and goals in life to keep us going. Wish they made more movies like this. 90's actresses seem so much more entertaining to watch.

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.

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.
