DVD WANTED SPECIAL EDITION OF THE FIRST WIVES CLUB REVIEW BY STAN HECK


I just watched again "The First Wives Club". The movie is 12 years old now. Released in 1996 the movie tells the story of 3 old friends reunited after a college friend of theirs has committed suicide. At the time of the reunion they find out they all have been dumped by their husbands for younger women. The women form a bound and plot revenge against their ex-husbands.



Now Paramount has released the movie years ago in a stand alone DVD without extras. This movie screams "IN NEED A SPECIAL EDITION". The movie has 40 minutes of edited footage that has never been seen by the public. In fact the footage contains John Stewart (THE DAILY SHOW) as Goldie Hawns boyfriend. There is also something edited when the ladies enter the house of one of their ex-husbands. See when we first see Bette Middler she walks fine. Then they cut to her entering the house and she is limping. This is never explained. Anyway I hope Paramount does do a special edition DVD. As the movie "Sex and City" proves women do support movies about women.
