Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

cudkey There's a feeling throughout that someone must have been literally crazy to think this was any good. Everyone in it is either stilted, phony, or both. It gives new meaning to the word "strained." NONE of the jokes work, they all just go "KOONK." It's overflowing with stupid, nonsensical subplots. Did they decide at some point - say, around the $70 million mark - to just throw up their hands, start goofing around, and make it deliberately bad? I don't get it. Something this utterly confounding could be a WTF double feature with WAR, INC.

jjnxn-1 Just a terrible mess of a movie that has only the most tenacious plot line running through it. Stories are picked up and dropped willy nilly adding up to pretty much nothing. This notorious flop reportedly cost many, many millions of dollars but they certainly don't show on screen. Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn try to do something with their parts although they are ill served by the script. Everybody else goes down with the ship, poor Charlton Heston and Marian Seldes are made ridiculous in yet another totally needless subplot. A perfect example of a director and studio lucky enough to gather a great group of talent and then squander them totally.

moonspinner55 Warren Beatty as a stumbling, bumbling, unfaithful husband--a well-to-do architect who can't even climb onto a roof without falling off. Married to fabric designer Diane Keaton for 25 years, Beatty has a fling with his best friend's soon-to-be ex-wife while carrying on a breezy affair with a pretty cellist. While on a fishing vacation with buddy Garry Shandling, he comes close to sleeping with two other eccentric females out for a good time. Though co-written by crack comedy vet Buck Henry, "Town & Country" is slow and stupid. The skittering sort of geniality which comes with watching an all-star cast in a big-budget production is enough to hold interest for awhile, but the characters don't take shape and the jokes never materialize. The sub-plot with flirtatious Andie MacDowell bringing Beatty home to meet her bombastic parents is bad enough to stop the picture dead in its tracks, and it really never recovers from this gaping pothole. Shandling does some nice underplaying, Goldie Hawn is attractive, and Beatty has one or two amusing moments of comic confusion. Otherwise, this troubled concoction sinks like a ship of fools. *1/2 from ****

pauladan There was nothing funny about this movie, and it could have been funny. It showed no real comic respect for marriage, for women, or for the children of the skirt chaser. It was vulgar. I disliked nearly all of the main characters, not a good sign. Warren Beatty as super attractive to all these younger women--out of the question--simply not realistic at his age. So the plot rationale was poor. One younger woman, maybe, several, no. Worst scene--him together with Goldie Hawn. Trashy, embarrassing, vulgar. I wanted it to be much better than it was, because of all the major stars in it. Jenna Elfman was probably the funniest thing about this movie. Charlton Heston was a disaster, a sad parody of himself. Gary Shandling had a few good lines. But mostly all the talents were wasted. Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson did this type of plot much better in Something's Gotta Give. That movie was funny and tongue in cheek--it worked.
