The First Wives Club | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Join the club -- The First Wives Club, the good-time battle-of-the-sexes satire sparked by snappy one-liners, great physical-comedy gags and three unforgettable stars in top form. Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton portray mid-life Manhattanites who have more than a longtime friendship in common.

Synopsis: When three women of a certain age are jilted by their husbands for younger models, they get together to commiserate and plot revenge?not just any revenge, but for each man, a cut where it will hurt the worst. After 30 years together, these ladies know their exes' weak spots.
