Leslie Dixon, best known in this house for Overboard, Outrageous Fortune and Mrs Doubtfire (all, if you ponder, films about people with double identities), has written a simple tale about a divorced couple (the effortlessly good Bette Midler and Dennis Farina) who can't stay away from one another, while their just-married daughter Paula Marshall experiences romantic fluctuations of her own, between uptight husband James Denton (who we recognise from Desperate Housewives) and paparazzo Danny Nucci, whilst current spouses David Rasche and Gail O'Grady provide annoying distractions.
New York's Majestic Hotel much in evidence. Amiable film is fun.
