The First Wives Club is a 1996 movie that follows three friends, played by Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton, who reunite after their college friend commits suicide because of her husband leaving her for a younger woman. The three women then realize that they have all been left by their husbands for younger women as well, so they form a club to support each other and help them get the revenge they deserve. The club is called The First Wives Club, and their motto is "Don't get mad. Get everything."

The movie takes place in New York City and is a comedy with a heart. The three leads have incredible chemistry together and are all hilarious in their own ways. Goldie Hawn is the ditzy one who has trouble keeping a job, Bette Midler is the sarcastic one who runs a successful advertising agency, and Diane Keaton is the uptight one who is going through a divorce with her husband. All three actresses play their roles perfectly, bringing their own unique personalities to the characters.

The movie has a great supporting cast as well, including Sarah Jessica Parker as the younger woman who steals Diane Keaton's husband, and Maggie Smith as a wealthy socialite who helps the women get their revenge. There are also appearances by Dan Hedaya, Victor Garber, and Stockard Channing.

The soundtrack is also a standout of the movie, with iconic songs like "You Don't Own Me" and "I'm Still Here" being featured prominently. The music helps capture the essence of the movie, which is about women taking control of their lives and not letting the men who have wronged them bring them down.

Overall, The First Wives Club is a hilarious and heartwarming movie that is still relevant today. It tackles important themes like sexism, ageism, and the value society places on women based on their looks, all while making the audience laugh. The chemistry between Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton is electric, and their performances are some of the best in their careers. It's a movie that encourages women to support each other, take charge of their lives, and not allow the men who have wronged them to define them.

The First Wives Club is a 1996 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 43 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4 and a MetaScore of 58.
