The First Wives Club (1996)

A slight but fun movie, the main joys to be taken from The First Wives Club are from the interactions of the (at the time) massively starry trio at the heart of it - Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler. The story's fairly predictable - all three women have been treated badly by (ex)husbands and they decide to club together to extract appropriate revenge on each of them - but it's so light and fluffy it would seem overly harsh to criticise. Equally there's not a massive amount to praise, other than the powerful comedic talents of the three leads, who are ably supported by Sarah Jessica Parker, Marcia Gay Harden and an odd cameo from Ivana Trump. I watched the movie a week ago and already it's mostly forgotten - I enjoyed it while it was there!
