A loud, obnoxious film from a master of those moods, Alan Parker, about marital breakup that features lots of smashed crockery, yelling and cursing in public places, physical abuse of children and destruction of property and whose message seems to be that if you're a husband who is trying to save his marriage then act like a complete and total butthole and you just might make it.
Parker, however, as he proved in "Bugsy Malone" and "Fame", is a very good director of kids and indeed the performances of the four young gals playing the Dunlap daughters are excellent, with Dana Hill, who died tragically of diabetes at thirty two, worthy of special mention. Thanks to them let's give this noisome dog a generous C plus.
