The First Wive's Club (1996) / myLot

I woke up yesterday thinking about Diane Keaton. I found "The First Wive's Club" on Paramount+ and watched it. Such a fun movie. Diane, Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler must have had such fun doing it. Portraying Annie, Elise and Brenda. How they strengthen each other to bring down their unappreciative husbands. They are college friends who are reunited after the death of a mutual friend. I love the revenge and the justice of it all. With phrases like these: "It's the 90's Bill-- Downsize!" "Check his books --- They're fiction!" "You vindictive sack of silicone." Don't get mad-- Get everything! And they do. You can also see it on YouTube TV and PlexTV.

@celticeagle

It did seem geared more towards women and their idea of revenge.

That is a genius movie. I absolutely love it, and they should never redo it. Now, they do have a TV series based on the movie with an all African American cast, but the movie reigns supreme.

I feel the same way. I guess the series is the one I found listed on Plex TV. Some of the series they make out of movies aren't done very well.

@celticeagle Not at all. Sometimes they’re terrible.
