A cast also including Emma Roberts, Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy star in Michael Jacobs' formulaic film about marriage and relationships.
Director-screenwriterDespite the formidable star wattage and estimable talents on display, however,fails to overcome its obvious stage origins, feeling all too schematic and talky. The plot feels like it could have been lifted from a French farce from the last century.
Meanwhile, their mothers and fathers are all having affairs, of both the sexual and emotional kind. And get this: They’re unwittingly having them with the parents of their children’s lovers! Don’t you hate when that happens? Howard and Monica have been meeting in hotel rooms for months, although he’s already bored with her.
Needless to say, it wouldn’t be a romantic comedy unless all the major characters got together for a group dinner, providing the opportunity for the older performers to practice their double takes and pratfalls as their characters suddenly realize whom they’ve been cheating with. It all leads to lots of alternately serious and joke-laden conversations among both the group and in various one-on-one configurations, which might have played well onstage but here merely comes across as artificial.
