    The result is an actor's dream, a film in which the truth of almost every scene has to be excavated out of the debris of social inhibition.
  2. The pace of the direction and-especially-of the screenplay by playwright-television writer John Kostmayer-begins to crawl, weighing down everything. [06 Apr 1990]

    Kasdan has inexplicably reduced flesh-and-blood characters to cartoons.

    I loved this film, what a terrific cast. Joan Plowright is superb and hysterically funny! Well written, enjoyable throughout. I was always entertained. The cast really makes it work, and the offbeat casting works amazingly well. Nicely directed. Expand
