I gave it 2/5 ... the film really fell apart in the 2nd half, turning in a movie that could be described as 'COMICAL' (unintentionally). Even though it is supposed to be a serious film about 2 people divorcing, there were quite a few moments where I laughed out loud, (no spoilers) especially that ending on the tennis court, I was laughing so hard right there ! ;-)
This is a sign the film was a failure because it was supposed to be 100% dramatic and I was thinking it was funny, so there was definitely something that wasn't right *there* ...
The beginning was pretty good, the actors were excellent as well, Albert Finney and Diane Keaton in particular. It was fun to see a pre-Robocop
Peter Weller in there too as the hunky guy who Keaton hires to build a tennis court next to her house.
Multiple nominations as I can see, Golden Globes, Cannes Film Festival, etc.
The 4 young daughters were running around in their underwear quite often, using 'inappropriate' language and the camera was lingering unnecessary long on the pre-teens as well, it was noticeable, it hasn't been mentioned here though.
