  • Starring: Jamey Sheridan, Lynn Redgrave
  • Summary: On a recent Halloween night four couples of differing backgrounds bring eight very different sets of hopes and aspirations to the dinner table of a Weehawken, New Jersey neighborhood party. When a fortune teller is invited to the house for entertainment, everything is thrown into disarray with the prediction that "one couple will be finished by the end of the year."

    Though picture is at times undermined by a lack of unifying perspective, its glimmers of greatness are a testament to the talent involved.

    The interactions between the realms of the magical and the everyday are carried off with an easygoing charm.

    The acting runs the gamut, with Daly and Redgrave at the top and a few characters looking as if they wandered onto the wrong movie set.

    Might be described as a muddy, cliché-ridden sudsfest that lurches uncertainly between comedy and soap opera without finding its emotional or visual footing.
