MCT:July 31, 2008The first two thirds of this film are great. The characters are very believable and keep you interested in the story. The final third of the film is still good it just doesn't have the same effectiveness. The acting is also impressive. I would recommend this good character piece.

MCT:February 20, 2008One of the best feel good movies I have seen.A feel good movie, also a little sad in parts but very enjoyable

MCT:January 17, 2008A beautifully subtle character study with tender and honest performances. Lawrence Kasdan wrote his finest dramatic script with William Hurt delivering one of his best understated roles (which is saying a lot). Simple, yet complex. Charming, yet melancholy. A true gem of the 80s.

Fine, very subtle performances and an intelligent script adaptation by Frank Galati and director Lawrence Kasdan (based on Anny Tyler's book) make this a great film to absorb.

Ohhhhh William Hurt, everything about this movie is very much in keeping with 80's self-actualizing and maudulin introspection. The perforances are good but it is a whiny movie.
-
MCT:August 27, 2007surprisingly dull. William Hurt is one of my favorite actors, he does a good job, but he couldn't save this snooze fest. I don't get what they were trying to accomplish with this movie.

Cute, but not downright hilarious as it's hyped. William Hurt can be a very good comedic actor when he wants to be.

William Hurt gives a terrific performance in this nicely made and honest drama. Kathleen Turner, Geena Davis (who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar), Bill Pullman and the rest of the supporting cast are also really good. The script is well written and insightful. However it is a bit overlong and slow-paced but it is overall a really good and touching film.

1988 hmm, has it really been that long since I saw this movie. It's always stuck in my mind as a winner. Hurt was good, Davis was great. These folk live our lives on the big screen. It's not simple. It has it's up's and down's. But we can't get off until the ride is over -so live it!
I've been looking to own this flick for a long time it seems. -

I adore this fim. It's a beautiful, gentle look at the difficulties of maintaining love, at fear of the new and our attraction to the familiar even when it's clearly not what we need anymore.
The characters are odd yet real and the performances perfect for the piece. William Hurt is wonderfully understated and Geena is incandescent. They're all great.
The dialogue, much of it lifted straight from the novel, is a joy to hear.
While I might want to be like John McLane, I know that I'm much closer to Macon Leary. Watching him find his Muriel somehow makes my life a little better, every time.
This movie gives me more lumps in the throat than any other, ever. John Williams' music is just beautiful and has been an ongoing part of the soundtrack of my life for 20 years now. Everything about it is perfect.
The greatest happy-ending love story ever made. -

Haven't seen this movie in a long time, but the parts I remember are very good. I really want to watch it again.

An interesting little film about relationships, in which the word love is mentioned a total of two times, both when couples are separating...go figure.
