"You Don't Own Me" song and dance at the ending and credit roll: 10 out of 10.

THE FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996) is clean, lighthearted and conveying an message easily understood. A bit silly, yes, particularly the two characters by Maggie Smith and Sarah Jessica Parker. Husbands are all portrayed as sex hungry low-wit. Filled with stereotype and cliché, yet TFWC wins the hearts of million people.

The reason? Well, let me give you three words: Keaton, Hawn and Midler. They are the keys why audience watch this movie, they are the keys why audience LOVE this movie.
