It's these well-lived-with characters who make The Four Seasons a pleasure to watch, and the actors obviously relish their parts. [25 May 1981, p.74]
Alda's debut as a director is nevertheless impressive, even if he clearly doesn't know what to do with the camera.
Mr. Alda's direction is particularly strong for bringing out his actors' humanity, and for developing a comic timing that helps unite the cast.
Stylistically, the film is all in small talk, too -- those television-perfected moments of everyday life that evoke recognition, rather than curiosity, about human behavior. But there's nothing in their lines or behavior that would make any of them irreplaceable in this sort of friendly group. [22 May 1981, p.17]
Partly because of Alda's comedy training on television, he has
succeeded in making, for two thirds of its length, an amusing and very
commercial film. But the last part shows him failing at what he really
wanted to do. [23 May 1981]
Tale is populated strictly with Ordinary People, but Alda’s script doesn’t begin to scratch the surface to discover what makes them tick and is particularly stingy in giving Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno anything to work with.
Astonishingly boring.
