Girls Spend Weeks Studying Famous Scene from “First Wives Club”. Their Hilarious Reenactment Has Gone Viral (Exclusive)

Three young girls have captivated the internet with their delightful reenactment of a famous scene from the iconic film ‘First Wives Club’. The heartwarming video, shared exclusively with PEOPLE, showcases the girls’ spirited performance as they recreate a memorable moment from the movie.

The tribute was orchestrated by Erica Jaffe Meyer, who wanted to honour the late Diane Keaton, a beloved actress known for her role in the film. With the help of her three daughters, Erica brought to life the energetic finale where Keaton, alongside Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn, dances to the tune of Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me”.
As a mother of three young girls, Erica shared her motivation behind the reenactment, stating, “I watched the movie and kind of grew up on Diane Keaton movies, so when everybody was posting the iconic dance scene, I thought, ‘Can I pull this off with a costume?’ They love dancing and all that.”

Erica diligently prepared for the performance by sourcing white outfits to match each character and familiarising her daughters, aged 2, 4, and nearly 6, with the choreography. She recalls, “They’re big Taylor Swift fans. They love a dance moment, so they were so into this.”
Despite the challenges of coordinating young children, Erica was pleasantly surprised by her daughters’ enthusiasm and cooperation during the filming. She credits their brief window of attention and cheerful demeanour for the success of the reenactment.
The heartwarming tribute holds special significance for Erica, who fondly remembers watching ‘First Wives Club’ with her late mother, making the experience even more sentimental. The positive reception to the video online has brought her comfort and a sense of connection to her late mother.

The viral video has garnered widespread attention, with viewers praising the girls’ performance and the nostalgic nod to the iconic film. Erica is touched by the outpouring of positive feedback and the joy that her family’s tribute has brought to others.
Looking ahead, Erica hopes to capture more special moments with her daughters, who are gearing up for Halloween celebrations with their own choice of costumes. Despite the viral success of their ‘First Wives Club’ reenactment, the girls are eager to embrace new characters for the holiday.
As the heartwarming video continues to spread online, Erica remains grateful for the opportunity to share a cherished memory with her daughters and connect with a wider audience through their delightful performance. The viral sensation is a testament to the enduring appeal of beloved films and the joy they bring to audiences of all ages.
