By those standards, The First Wives Club is a film Southwest Symphony will be hosting a Marathon Dinner at 5:00. A childrens choir will be featured in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Children worth watching. Following their college friend's suicide, Brenda (Bette Midler), Annie (Diane Keaton), and Elise (Goldie Hawn) decide to renew their friendship. Seated in a small cafe after the funeral, the three friends compare Aeir failing marriages and the young r women who have taken their places. Together with Annie's lesbian daughter, in an abandoned warehouse, the ladies plot to take revenge on their husbands. The show was well cast and each actress shared their contributions to the success of this film. Bette Midler, was brilliant as the maturing and cynical mother fighting her former husband for the finances to raise her son. Diane Keaton adds a subtle humor to the production. Her inability to accept her marital separation leads her to a therapist, who steals her husband. To complete the trio, Goldie Hawn plays the queen of plastic surgery, an aging actress who's roles have changed from the sexy beauty, to the beauty's mother. "What's the matter Morty, can't you afford to buy her a whole dress." chides Bette Midler, in another hilarious confrontation with her ex- - husband and his teenage girlfriend. This and many other lines convinced me that not only was the script well performed, but also well . may audition by appointages 3 and give ment. Please call the child's name, age, grade, school, and height. 2 652-779- Hfrc PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF PARAMOUNT Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn, and Diane Keaton star in the new Wives Club., which opened everywhere September 20. written. The feeling of frustration was apparent in the dialogue. The terrible trio takes the city by storm, bypassing crooked lawyers, and conversing in gay bars. Goldie, with her inflamed pink lips, Bette's "family", and Diane's anger complex all provided me with two hours of entertainment. If you are looking for an intellectually stimulating plot, I fear that you will be disappointed. Though the story is amusing, it is completely unrealistic, and focuses more on the humor than the emotions related. Any three ladies who The Dixie Sun is looking for a political cartoonist.

Though the film was built with humorous undertones, the overall purpose was to educate the audience. Each character added a different view of the issue of marital turmoil, and with the funds collected from their ambush operations, they build a women's crisis center dedicated to their late friend, Cynthia. I would recommend this movie, not only for entertainment but for the important theme that it presents. side-ste- p Student Support Services Quarterly Meeting Gardner Center, Conference Room B October 3, 1996 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Learn About the Program Meet Other Students Enjoy the Dessert Bar Everyone Welcome! 5 |
