Jeff M More than any other movie, this is the one that made me realize, at a rather young age, that I was one weird human being. I started watching this movie on HBO when I was probably 9 or 10. While others my age were involved in Star Wars and Indiana Jones culture, I was repeatedly re-watching a movie about middle aged couples going through mid-life crises over the course of a year. It was all downhill from here. But I am who I am, for better or worse, and I treasure this movie as one of my all-time favorites. I recently shared my top 25 of the decade and failed to include this. That was negligence on my part. This is a hugely entertaining and occasionally moving motion picture that received largely positive critical and audience reaction upon its release, but I still don't think it quite gets the credit it deserves. As I get older, I realize how impactful and profound much of the dialogue is here, and this for me is the crowning achievement of writer/director/actor Alan Alda's career, possibly barring his memorable supporting performance later this decade in Woody Allen's CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS. The cast here is crazy brilliant, with possibly Burnett's finest movie performance, and this is one of those films I revisit rather regularly. Every once in awhile it dips into sitcom humor but not as often as one would expect. This is a movie I treasure, and it brings back great memories.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review crustina d This is a great film made on a budget. Alan Alda helms a wonderful ensemble cast, leading them into the darkness of truth and hilarity! So many gems within the folds. Not a perfect film, but I wouldn't change a thing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william k Mildly amusing romantic comedy is centered on the vagaries of mid-life marriage; good cast and interesting premise, but otherwise not very exciting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r It started with some promise of good people enjoying life and how they had friendship and happiness. However, things change and that is life. It had its moments, but ultimately was a let down. The Mercedes gag was good. It was on Netflix. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A group of unlikable and annoying married middle age upper class people yelling at each other for two hours and you wonder why don't all these people just get divorced.
