Review & Description
Lily is a temperamental movie diva who must make nice with her ex-husband dan just long enought to make it through the wedding of their only daughter. Everyone knows they hate each other so no ones more surprised than they when a knock-down-drag-out fight sparks that old feeling and they head off for a fling. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 01/06/2004 Starring: Bette Midler Paula Marshall Run time: 105 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Carl ReinerCarl Reiner made this enjoyable romantic farce about a divorced couple who commence an affair at their daughter's wedding. Reiner lets the idea bounce around the story's setting and characters so that the full comic effect of the illicit relationship can be felt more chaotically, building on its own irony. Bette Midler and Dennis Farina are quite believable and likable as the not-so-estranged-anymore couple, and Paula Marshall is very good as their exasperated daughter. Not a masterpiece, but one of Reiner's best films in years, with a distinctively European flavor to the comedy. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, cast and crew bios, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, optional Spanish and French soundtracks, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh Read more
