In 1996's the first wives club, we are told the story of 4 Middle Aged college friends: Annie, Brenda, Elise, and Cynthia. Each of them had husbands leave them for younger women. Cynthia commits suicide within the 1st 10 minutes of the movie, suffering from drinking and depression when her husband left her for a much younger, better looking woman. They all decide to get together and in Cynthias honor and get revenge from their husbands. This movie offers up very funny jokes situations and also features women empowerment. In the end it offers up a great message. And also features a great cast from Bette Midler(Hocus pocus) to Goldie Hawn(Private Benjamin) to Diane Keaton(father of the bride) Stockard Channing (Grease) as Cynthia, Sarah Jessica Parker(sex and the city) and Elizabeth Berkley(Showgirls). As you would expect from this A-list cast, the acting is very good in this film. There's also a very funny scene in a lesbian night club, when the women are trying to win over Diane Keaton's daughter to help them. This is a well-made feel good movie that anyone can enjoy whether male or female. Seven out of 10
