Sex obsessed middle class New Yorkers Michael Murphy and Jill Clayburgh live a seemingly normal life, until his tearful confession in the middle of the street that he is in love with another woman. She walks away, vomits and spends the rest of the movie figuring out how to deal with it. She gets support from a circle of similarly male-hating girlfriends and a female therapist who encourages her to start dating again. She hooks up with a couple of artists, eventually settling for Alan Bates. Woody Allen made a career out of these kind of movies, but at least he was funny.
