A likeable conversational comedy ornamented by very civil and precise performances (thanks to its male ensemble, in particular, it’s one of the most impressive casts of the 80s), several very funny dialogues, and a powerful and very memorable soundtrack. But I feel that Kazdan could have used those great songs to let his hair down a little as a director (as in the opening sequence) and that he could have anchored that easygoing charade of relationships with a stronger and deeper twist. It should get 3*, but those actors, the dramatic feeling, the nice humour, and Meg Tilly and her flexible hot character pull it to a weak 4*.

I like conversational films based on interesting stories, but most importantly, they tend to have great actors. And here, perhaps not a single actor was chosen wrongly; they all perfectly fit their roles, both the men and the women. This is like a cinematic ballad about how beautifully screwed up life is. Either way, it's always worth living it because you can laugh.
