Title: A Truly Fun Flick!
Product review: I saw this in the theater when it was first released, and have just rediscovered it on DVD. What a funny, poignant movie about friends drifting apart, relationships that go bad and the importance of building something together with those who you truly love. As Cynthia Swan (one of four friends who commits suicide when left by her husband for a younger woman -- a great performance by Stockard Channing) says, "perhaps the problem is lonliness" in her notes to her three best college friends (played by Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Bette Midler). A real delight, with a great sound track, esepcially the closing rendition of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" by Hawn, Midler and Keaton. I especially like that the three women (after exacting justice on their own philandering husbands) have formed a strong bond, and that the film ends with them together, singing and dancing up a storm!
