I enjoy Albert Brooks' dry sense of humor so much I almost made this video a "keeper," but it fell just short of that status. His unique brand of humor, ultra-sarcastic at times but very low-key, is refreshing at times.
Although this film is almost all talk and there are some lulls, it still maintained my interest. What I didn't like was the worldly outlook on things, a little too much pro-feminist ending and about seven usages of the Lord's name in vain. The latter is too much for a comedy, especially co-starring a classic-era actress in Debbie Reynolds.
I enjoyed seeing the town of Sausolito again. I had done some sightseeing in the San Francisco area the year before I saw this film and was very impressed with Sausolito.
Outside of those Bay-area scenes and Brooks' humor, however, the movie is nothing special. It's worth a rental.
