Paula Marshall is a delight. The movie's universe revolves around her character and if she couldn't' pull off the transitions in the straight role, Midler's and Farina's tour-de-force performances would have felt out of context. But she did. Director Carl Reiner in his last directorial credit to-date has set all the screwball romantic comedy to a fantastic classic musical score and lots of wonderful sight gags. Gail O'Grady and David Rasche Play their roles as spurned spouses for all they are worth. The actor playing the paparazzi reporter had such good chemistry with Marshall that they married in real life. This movie made me laugh more than any romantic comedy since Crossing Delancey.
This movie has me very confused. Although I don't like watching it, I find myself putting it in the DVD player once a week. Then if finally dawned on me. The plot sucks, but the writing and the acting are absolutely superb. Bette Midler and Dennis Farina had such a chemistry going, it was hard to stop laughing.But you can't forget about the other acting in this movie. Bette and Dennis's current lovers are even more amazingly funny. I found myself wishing that they would be in the movie more, have more lines. Much like on "Will and Grace". Will and Grace are great, but come on, Karen steals the show. The show should be re-titled, "Karen and Jack.". Just have a role reversal, Will and Grace can be the sometimes in the show people, but Jack and Karen own it. And that's how I feel about this movie. Wonderfully funny, just need to get through the borinnng, sloooow, plot.
Bette and Dennis are absolutely fantastic in this.They just about explode every scene they have together. The young couple that play the married couple and the photographer are likewise wonderful. They more than hold their own with Bette and Dennis.Wonderful ensemble of characters.
I personally loved this movie. I thought it was very funny and entertaining. Midler gives an excellent performance as usual. My whole family and I watched and everyone enjoyed it. This is deffinently one of my favorite Bette Midler films. A must see!
