Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Edward GuthmannIt's a glamorous revenge romp, a "9 to 5" mixed with "Auntie Mame," and it gives each star the opportunity to do her best work in a long, long time.
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) - 10/10 by Jeffrey WesthoffMore entertaining than it ought to be, considering how sloppily it was put together.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenAfter suffering through many ho-hum comedies, this is a treat.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversThe movie, from the 1992 best seller by Olivia Goldsmith, isn't deathless art. But as pure entertainment, this witty revenge romp is sinfully satisfying.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordWhile the movie frequently gets things right, the big intricate revenge set-up in the second half is mishandled and muddled.
Consequence of Sound - 9/10 by Nico LangThe First Wives Club is one of the few films made for a female audience in which its characters find fulfillment not by shacking up with a man, but by moving on from partners that don't deserve them.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonAnd thanks to great existential one-liners from scriptwriter Robert Harling (with appropriate plaudits to novelist Olivia Goldsmith, of course), gender warfare is made amusing for almost everyone.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksFast and funny, with terrific turns by the lead players, as well as a number of memorable supporting roles filled with familiar faces.
Variety - 8/10 by Leonard KladyThe familiar setup sparkles a little brighter here thanks to the ensemble and their deft delivery of the bitchy dialogue in Robert Harling's adaptation of the Olivia Goldsmith novel.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittThe dialogue is often silly but Bette Midler, Diane Keaton, and Goldie Hawn deliver it with enough crackerjack energy to keep audiences laughing.
