This "movie" movie is cleverly written and well-constructed by writer-director Charles Shyer (with co-writer Nancy Meyers). Humour and drama are balanced with alacrity.
Ryan O'Neal and Shelley Long play off each other well, and you always believe them. Drew Barrymore is as cute as a button as she provides the sub-plot concerning family affairs and parenting. Also stars Sam Wanamaker, Allen Garfield and a very young Sharon Stone.
It is hard to understand why Meyers and Shyer felt it necessary to provide the moral ending. I guess it was too obvious too omit.
