This is a difficult film to get into because of the real lack of character development, starting with the leading characters played by Albert Finney and Diane Keaton, great performances but not necessarily a great script. The underdeveloped leading characters are in the midst of a divorce, and because of the relationships both people get involved in, their personal relationship becomes more tempestuous, eventually erupting in violence when she rejects the visiting agreement, causing Infinity to have a breakdown that is truly horrendous and not believable based on how Finney's character was developed up to this point.
There's little personality given to the people involved with Keaton and Finney after the marriage breaks up, although Karen Allen does try to give her character som.e color. Peter Weller, as Keaton's new love interest, doesn't seem to even big digging into who his character is, and is basically left in the background. I wasn't impressed by any of the actors playing the young children of Keaton and Finney, and none of them are even remotely likable.
Some familiar character actors pop up in smaller parts, with Fran Ryan memorable as a very tough family court judge, and. George Murdock and Leora Dana as Keaton's parente. But most of the film is the couple yelling and screaming at each other, and it becomes often painful and irritating to watch.
