Movie Description
Ellie and Porter Stoddard appear to be the perfect couple. Ellie (Diane Keaton) is a successful designer, Porter (Warren Beatty) a high-powered architect, living in the lap of luxury on Fifth Avenue with their wonderful children and various foreigners wandering through their home. Off they jet to Paris to celebrate their 25th anniversary with their best friends, Griffin (Garry Shandling) and Mona (Goldie Hawn). But upon their return to New York, the idyllic life disappears when Mona catches Griffin having an affair, setting off a trail of suspicion and betrayal among the foursome. While Porter tries to downplay his fling with a cellist named Alex (Nastassja Kinski), he gets himself stuck in hilarious entanglements with Jenna Elfman and Andie MacDowell--and a much more serious one with his oldest and dearest friend, Mona.

Peter Chelsom's romantic comedy, cowritten by and featuring the great Buck Henry, is a lighthearted romp through New York City, Sun Valley, Mississippi, Paris, and the Hamptons. The terrific cast also includes Charlton Heston and Marian Seldes as MacDowell's dangerously bizarre parents, but it is Shandling and Beatty who steal the show. Shandling provides constant comic relief as he struggles with his newfound sexuality while Beatty hems and haws his way through a series of increasingly ridiculous situations, able to do with a glance and a grin what most actors can't do in a lifetime.

Lighthearted zany sexy comedy with a wonderful cast of intelligent characters. Loved Andie MacDowell's performance. Little offbeat - but that's what makes the movies!
