First Wives Club, The

1996

Erstwhile college chums Elise (Goldie Hawn), Annie (Diane Keaton) and Brenda (Bette Midler) reunite for the funeral of a friend who committed suicide after hubby traded her in for a hot new model. When the women realize they're in the same predicament, they form a troika and with help from an interior decorator, a socialite, Annie's daughter and a mafioso, they plot payback against their two-timing exes. And as they say, hell hath no fury...

Getting even... this fall.
