Buzz K I saw it when it was originally released and thought it was OK. But I watched it again in 2025 and was embarrassed at just how awful and abjectly cringy the acting and dialogue was. The over-acting, the uproarious laughter at the most mundane "jokes", the predictable attempts as witty retorts, Alda's terrible overacting especially, had me wondering if it was the same movie I saw in 81. Its just terrible. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful, funny, engaging , funny and realistic film. Loved it from the first time i watch it and it's a beautiful film that somehow - at least even in my circle has been like a veiled gem - Relatable, real, funny, emotional, and true. 5/5 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Victoria B It feels like Chekhov Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review P M The dialogue and acting were not great, but everything else was perfect. A very human story with a lot of funny moments. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review 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.
