Summary: entertaining, but some propaganda
Review: I found the movie entertaining. However, a central plot is that
four women friends from the same college are dumped in their
middle age by their husbands for younger women. In reality, women
initiate most divorces. They get preferential treatment with
ownership of the house, custody of the kids, and alimony.
So, I think this movie is disguising the fact that, statistically,
it's more like a First Husbands Club out there.

Summary: Funny but over-acted
Review: For a movie with a pretty big idea--that women whose husbands leave them for younger women can regain their dignity, control, and even, in some cases, their husbands--this is a pretty trifling affair. It's embarrassing to listen to Diane Keaton reduce all her acting talent to a 90-minute stream of shrill screams and whines and whimpers. Goldie Hawn's character undergoes plastic surgery, but that's not enough to explain the way she contorts her face throughout the film. And when Bette Midler and the other two get together to burst into song, watch out. You'll probably wince.Still, this is a funny movie, with a decent heart, a pat but semi-satisfying ending, and a really great cast: Stockard Channing, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elizabeth Berkeley, Dan Hedaya, Balki from Perfect Strangers, the dad from Seventh Heaven, and Maggie Smith all make appearances. You probably shouldn't buy it, but you could do a lot worse than this flipping through channels on cable.

Summary: A Movie of Very Limited Charm
Review: The hype that surrounded this tale of three jilted women, school chums who met again later in life to exchange their sob stories about how their men left them for younger women, centered solely around female revenge, which may be why the film fails to come across as more than an expensive bit of fluff. Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton star in an exposition of mediocrity that includes a number of Hollywood celebrities all of whom fade into the background as the foreground features a pageant of gaudy nothingness. The film has failed to sustain considerable interest since its initial release because the sensationalism that surrounded it at the time was not of a sort that withstands the test of time.
The sad part is that there are signs during the film that some of the cast members are trying to give the film some depth. The theme of revenge, however, rarely has depth. It was only by accident that I saw the film the first time -- an in-flight "treat" that was imposed upon me -- and the second viewing also came unannounced. While I feared that my initial impression had been somewhat jaded, the second viewing proved to me that I had formed the correct impression from the start.

Summary: Love this movie, so fun
Review: My friend showed this movie to me aout 2 years ago. I had forgotten all about it, and then it was on TV, so I watched it. I haven't seen too many movies by any of the stars, but as a kid stuck in an era of crappy plot-less movies, I can say that this is one of my favorite movies. Heck, there're so many good lines to quote!

Summary: entertaining, but some propaganda
Review: This movie dramatizes and glorifies sexist violence against men. It is anti-men hate on film. If your a female who hates men, believes that men are bad, and loves to see men hurt, this movie is for you.
