The First Wives Club
$9.98
Highly contrived and artificial comedy with good moments and virtuoso carrying-on (I hesitate to say acting) by the three leading ladies--who are leading with their lefts. The problem with outings like this is that (1) it is only too obvious that a committee of brainstormers sat around and came up with the concept or 'hook' of this movie, i.e., dumped women shall wreak revenge upon their schnook former husbands, thus creating multiple opportunities for amusing gags, and (2) the viewer knows practically from the first five minutes where this is all going to go, o why waste any more time watching? Just to see how they do it? To try to locate an original joke or two among hundreds of recycled oldies? To soak up the charisma of the stars? Surely there must be something more constructive to do with one's life than watch this cookie- cutter imitation of a drama.

Something's Gotta Give

This is a great dating movie for those of us over 50 years of age............how true it depicts the difference between men and women after a breakup - men date younger women and women cry for days........been there and done that and probably most women can totally relate. Kianu Reeves is the sexy, nice younger man who loves older women and how true that is and I know first hand as I am in the dating world. I love Jack Nicholson and again the cast was great. Makes you laugh and cry and I love happy endings.

Besides the fact that Diane Keaten is probably one of my five top favorite actresses, and I've loved most all of her films, from Woody Alan to REDS. , I'm convinced she can play any kind of part in any kind of film.

This is an interesting film in that she has to change characters so many times. At first a hard working first class wealthy business woman, then a mom who hasn't the slightest idea of how to take of a baby she inherits and finally a gal whose moved to the NE in a house she saw in the newspaper, and where her roof caves in in the middle of winter, her well runs dry and just about everything that could go wrong with this house she's bought in Vermont brings her to the point of poverty. Close to a nervous break down, she changes course again.

She makes a come back, and with her orchard begins to make baby apple sauce. Tons of it, and it sells, and sells and sells, and next thing we know, she's been called back to her old job in NY where she's presented with her great come back. But she turns it down. If they can do it, so can she. Diane Keaten plays all of her different parts great, and I love this film. Of course, it's not REDS, and it's not Woody but I like it just the same.
