The dysfunctional relationships of three sisters in NYC is given the Woody Allen treatment. Michael Caine is unhappily married to Mia Farrow, and begins an affair with her sister Barbara Hershey. Meanwhile her other sister tries and fails at various careers, including writing and acting, while going on a memorable date with Mia's ex-husband Woody. Other than that one date, which is hilarious, the rest of the film is a bore, with self-absorbed characters doing bad things to one another in the name of love. Woody continues the drift from his earlier, funnier comedies to serio-comic, romantic melodramas.
