Woody Allen and Bette Midler play an affluent married couple with teenage children. He is a lawyer, she a celebrated psychiatrist with a bestselling book. The two stars cover about 80% of the picture either talking to each other, an unseen person on the phone or themselves. They could not appear any more selfish, superficial than perceived here.
On their 16th wedding anniversary (with big plans for a celebration) both confess to the other their affairs. Halfway into the film, I wanted them to get a damn divorce and get it over with. These two quickly turn from annoying to totally unbearable. Only one thing would be worse than watching this nonsense: Being one of the two characters. Sad! Allen and Middler are Superstars who need not waste their talents on such stupid material. Are they selling out, or why would they do this to their solid fan base? Please, don't offend my intelligence like this ever again!
