Tonight's movie is The Fabulous Four starring Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Megan Mullally and Sheryl Lee Ralph. The Fabulous Four is an uproarious comedy about a group of life-long friends (Sarandon, Mullally and Ralph) who travel to Key West, Fla., to be bridesmaids in the surprise wedding of their best college girlfriend Marilyn (Midler). Over the course of one outrageous trip, sisterhoods are rekindled, the past resurfaces and there are enough sparks, raunch and romance to change all their lives in unexpected ways.
