Synopsis
The First Wives Club (1996) is a sharp revenge comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Hugh Wilson. Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and Diane Keaton play three college friends, each dumped by a husband who traded her in for someone younger.
A classmate's funeral reunites them after nearly three decades apart. The stories line up almost too neatly: three successful Manhattan men, three wives left behind for newer models. So the women stop grieving and start scheming, aiming straight for the place it stings most, the wallet. Lawyers, leveraged real estate and a fake foundation all become weapons. Maggie Smith, Sarah Jessica Parker and Stockard Channing round out the cast.
The tagline says it all: don't get mad, get everything. What really powers the movie isn't the plot but the easy, ferocious chemistry between its three leads, who clearly relish every barb. A glossy nineties comedy with teeth. Stream The First Wives Club (1996) online on iFILM.
