It's been a long time, and The First Wives Club unfortunately doesn't change anything. They portray three friends who form a secret revenge club when the men in their lives run off with younger women. The First Wives Club is part slapstick and part immorality tale.
Revenge can be sweet and funny, and in some cases, mean.
The sad message in this movie is that these three women end up acting as ugly as the men who mistreated them. I wanted to like and laugh along with The First Wives Club, but at almost every turn, director Hugh Hudson goes for the jugular instead of intelligence. 9 to 5, with Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda was much better, accomplishing the same thing. This one borders on inept. The First Wives Club is rated PG, and despite a laugh here and a chuckle there, is a major disappointment.
