I've been interested in the handful of movies Alan Alda directed post-MASH, given how much he brought to that show and how good he was, both behind and in front of the camera. One film he did called The Four Seasons was surprisingly good, but Betsy's Wedding... not so much.
At best, it's watchable. It's a light romantic comedy that wasn't really offensive, but also not hugely funny. It has a great cast, but they're generally under utilised. At least it's only about 90 minutes long, but you get through those 90 minutes and think to yourself, "that's it?"
So you could do worse and you could do better. There's not really much more to say, and reviewing middle of the road movies is tough, so here's a very appropriate shrug emoji:
🤷♂️
And we'll leave it at that.
