Alan Alda (who also directed) and Carol Burnett play a married couple who consider themselves paragons of sensitivity and sensibility. Alda and Burnett are the instigators of a series of vacations (from New England to the Virgin Islands), which they take in the company of two other couples: Jack Weston and Rita Moreno, and Len Cariou and Sandy Dennis. Everyone's interrelationships are put to the test when Cariou and Dennis divorce, and Cariou subsequently marries the much-younger Bess Armstrong. Not too surprisingly, the comings and goings of The Four Seasons are underscored by the music of Antonio Vivaldi. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Critic Reviews
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Comedy-drama has stellar cast, ably directed by Alan Alda.
-
Don Willmott, Filmcritic.com
Alda's all-star cast has a ball with his sharp material
-
Jake Euker, F5 (Wichita, KS)
Careful, tasteful, enervated. The film kills off its one unpredictable presence; the company you're left in doesn't compensate.
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
The Four Seasons is a lively and engaging film about the strain and responsibilities of friendships among married adults.
