Timeless film, but showing its age in a societal context
I won't give away plot details, but will say that I enjoy rewatching this film almost as much as when I first saw it when it was released twenty-five years ago. The writing, directing and casting all contribute to making the storyline magical (in my opinion.) The subject here is spouses who use their marriages to climb socially and/or financially. That is relevant to this day. Even with plot changes the subject at a high level will remain relevant because it's people using a relationship to gain something, then dispose of the relationship.Personally, the acting is what keeps drawing me back to rewatch the movie. And the dynamics, of course. As an added bonus the cast of cameo characters, such as Ed Koch and Gloria Steinem, add familiarity to some scenes for folks in my generation who knew them as household names. Of course, there are more, but these two spring to mind because they were in a scene together. And the cast of supporting actors is mind boggling. I don't know what the budget of this film was, but when you add folks like Maggie Smith, Victor Garber, Marcia Gay Harden, Sarah Jessica Parker, J. K. Simmons (to name only a few), you just know that the budget was substantial. Of course twenty-five years ago some of those folks were not exactly household names, but supporting actors like Rob Reiner and Heather Locklear were. And all of the aforementioned, and the ones who I did not name added to the story telling in their own special ways using their distinctive talents.It would be easy to assume that this is a fluff piece that is predictable. It isn't. It is supposed to be a comedy, but it touches on some painful and dark aspects, and the arcs of some of the main characters ended in (to me) surprising ways.Still, it's foremost entertainment, and is a film that I thought highly enough of to replace my scratched copy with a brand new disc. Your mileage may vary.
