Lorimar FilmDirected by Alan J. Pakula
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
Jeff Bridges divorces Farrah and Alice Krige is a widow. They are introduced at a party by mutual friend Linda Lavin. They get married and deal with their emotional baggage, children, in-laws, etc. Conveniently Bridges is a psychiatrist so we get psychological explanations for the situations that arise. The biggest problem I had was the overly-familiar cast: Drew Barrymore and Macaulay Culkin are two of the kids, all of the adults are instantly recognizable, even Theodore Bikel is in it. Most of these actors could not get beyond their stereotypes, with the notable exception of the two main leads.
