The First Wives Club

Comedy

After years of helping their hubbies climb the ladder of success, three mid-life Manhattanites have been dumped for a newer, curvier model. But the trio is determined to turn their pain into gain.

    These was a one or two week stretch where there was only one movie that wasn't rated R in our theater and it was The First Wives Club so when I was fifteen I saw The First Wives Club three times because it was the only movie you could take a date to at our movie theater at fifteen.

    How heart-breaking that Diane Keaton is gone. I loved her in so many roles especially The First Wives Club 💔😢 Her amazing body of work will live on. I think I may need to do a Diane Keaton movie marathon. 😢😢😢

    Just had a dream I was doing karaoke and I was singing "You Don't Own Me" from the First Wives Club but I stopped partway through to explain the plot of the movie to the crowd. What I'm saying is I'm tedious even in my dreams.

    The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Annie Hall, Reds, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club, etc. etc. etc. Diane Keaton's range was astonishing. (Reds is perhaps my favorite of her performances)

    Watching The First Wives Club is making me miss when people were allowed to be this camp and heightened in a non-cartoony film. Today I feel like everyone would have to play this very grounded/restrained. There's emotional truth here but everyone is also playing for the back row and it's glorious.

    Fun Fact #508: Screenwriter and playwright Robert Harling wrote the play and film adaptation of “Steel Magnolias,” while also acting as the priest, and “The First Wives Club.” “Steel Magnolias” is a dramatized version of his sister’s determination to not let Type 1 Diabetes run her life.

    My favorite movie when I was around 8-12 was The First Wives Club. I’ve probably seen it more than any other movie and I think it had a profound effect on me. It’s why I’m a strong believer in grudges, revenge, and female friends. RIP Diane Keaton! One of the greats!

    The first date I ever went on was to see Annie Hall. Diane Keaton shone in every scene she was in, in any film. I loved so many of her films: Interiors, Reds, Shoot the Moon, Mrs Soffel, The Good Mother, The First Wives Club, Hanging Up, The Young Pope. RIP to an icon of style & a brilliant actor.

    The First Wives Club. I actually like the book, but it is MESSY, and the film tightens things up fantastically. Also make everything a lot less "even in the mid-90s, we'd probably get a side-eye if we put this on film".

    Sometimes ads are fine while watching a movie and sometimes they've been jammed in so poorly that you get the TV announcer in The First Wives Club announcing the death of Cynthia and then one beat later, I hear "Ahh... nature!" bc it's cut abruptly to some commercial.
