After years of helping their hubbies climb the ladder of success, three mid-life Manhattanites have been dumped for a newer, curvier model. But the trio is determined to turn their pain into gain. They come up with a cleverly devious plan to hit their exes where it really hurts – in the wallet!
“My sisters and I, as I write in No Fault, absolutely loved this movie. We were probably way too young for it—when it was released in 1996, I would have been all of ten years old—but I think we were responding to the incredibly funny slapstick elements that keep the balance pitched just right between satire and seriousness. Every performance in the film is perfect to me, and every actor gets at least one completely, devastatingly, hilarious line of dialogue. Trust me, I’ve memorized the entire script.” -HALEY MLOTEK
Screening as part of The Divorced Women’s Film Festival curated by writer Haley Mlotek for the release of her new memoir “No Fault: A Memoir of Romance and Divorce”.
The screening will be introduced by Haley Mlotek and a special guest.
