The First Wives Club

Some days are hard and exhausting so you just need to allow Bette Midler, Goldie Hawn and Diane Keaton rock your evening again, no matter how many times you’ve watched The First Wives Club before.

Oh yeah, not to mention, this little lady:

Aren’t they lovely?

I am not sure what’s the level of tolerance robot-people would have for this movie. At all. ‘Cause I do not understand that kind of brain and truth be told, I make zero effort to try to understand WHY, OH WHY someone likes a movie about cars that turn into robots or whatever… but if you are one of my people, which the averse-to-robots brain type “The first wives club” is a winner! And it has been for what… 20? 25 years?

It’s so good I watched it last night and I might watch it again today. And tomorrow. Except… I am in a Bridget Jones mood now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah… I happen to turn into a girl from time to time.

But then I go back to pumpkin. Promise.

Please, waste your time with this movie! Several times!

The giant mechanical man

This movie definitely falls into the “What the f*** did I just watch?” category.

This is what I do… I usually filter a person on either Netflix or Amazon (or whatever) and I watch a few of their movies in a row. On this day, I was very much in a Topher Grace mood.

I mean, Topher is awesome and I know waaaaay more about him then I feel like I should know about a person who is *not* an actual friend. Actually, there’s a good chance I know a lot more about Topher Grace than I do about a good percentage of my friends BECAUSE he had a podcast.

In real life, I tend to interrupt people to talk about myself (I am a terrible person, I realize that) so, with podcasts, since I can’t do that, I tend to listen… and people tend to talk about themselves for hours… and he does that. I know that Topher Grace basically survived on cereal when he was single and that he was a reputation of enjoying board games but the story behind how that started is actually super not-legit ’cause he bought a bunch of board games it to impress random girls he never really hooked up with…

Anyway, what was the question?

Oh, that darn movie.

Well, I don’t mean to trigger anyone here, but if you feel like you’ve lost the willing to get out of bed and see the sunlight ever again… this movie will set the mood! It’s the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen – minus for the 5 minutes where you actually see Topher trying to be funny in a movie that is very much NOT.

I might actually watch is again just to understand if I was missing something or if that was actually it. I am thinking that was it.

I say don’t waste your time with it, unless you are in a very weird movie.

Of course, there’s a chance you very much enjoyed watching this. I mean, the guy who wrote it probably did. That just means we are very. Different. People.

That’s it.
