The subject of marital separation and divorce is eyed without much comprehension (a running gag lumps divorce together with such other social viruses as "police strikes, women's lib, gay lib, condominiums"), but with a good deal of furrowed-brow concern. The movie seems a decade or so late, either a little slow on the uptake or slow to the punch, but it is probably accurate enough as a reflection of what's on Middle America's collective mind -- more accurate, certainly, than whatever is lately on the minds of trend-spotters and pop sociologists who long ago took notice of the escalating divorce rate and, having exhausted it or themselves, soon moved on to new things. A somewhat novel measurement of the effects of male menopause, and one of the more audible chuckles in this extremely mild comedy, is to be found in George Segal's drunken discourse on the diminishing force of his "excretory stream." With Natalie Wood, Valerie Harper, Richard Benjamin, and Dom DeLuise; directed by Gilbert Cates. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
