Plot: Actually, this comedy is one of the more enjoyable films to examine midlife crisis in the 1980s. Written and directed by Alan Alda, it examines the effects of middle age on a group of married couples ...( read more read more... )who are longtime friends. Each season they go away on a vacation together, but the dynamic gets skewed when one of the men dumps his wife for a younger woman. Though some may find the characters' self-satisfaction and upscale neuroses a shade cloying, they are more than matched by Alda's solid, often funny writing. The couple with the biggest laughs: the hilariously paired Jack Weston and Rita Moreno (although Alda and Carol Burnett also strike comic sparks). --Marshall Fine

    A great movie that looks at what happens to relationships (of any kind) when middle age starts creeping up on you. And I just LOVE Carol Burnett!!!

    A great cast in a story about friends who go on annual trips together and what happens when a divorce changes the dynamics of their lives.

    I was very surprised to enjoy this movie as much as I did. I'm a huge Alan Alda fan but I still had my doubts. They were put to rest however, I think this is one of the most interesting observations of people out there. Often self-centred, often unjustifiably angry, and always just trying to do the right thing, these characters all seemed very truthful and real to me. It has it's funny moments and it's serious ones, and is all around a great movie.

    Ya gotta love Alan Alda. Some parts of the film are very funny, and there is decently good conflict. But, the resolution is very poor. I understand that there is no real answer to the problems that the characters were face with in the film, there is no clear and obvious answer, but however when writing about complexities of people and dynamics of relationships there, needs to be some closure, which Alda just doesn't present. While it's obvious to see what he was trying to do, it ultimately didn't work as well as he would of hoped it would of.
