The First Wives Club

Comedy103 min

After being left by the husbands they helped build up, three Manhattan women reunite at a college friend’s funeral and decide not to stay heartbroken for long. Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton make up the trio, newly divorced and newly focused on hitting their exes where it hurts most: their finances. The story moves through upscale New York apartments, old resentments, and a carefully plotted scheme, with Dan Hedaya, Victor Garber, and Stephen Collins as the men who underestimated them, and Sarah Jessica Parker among the younger women at the center of the split.
