4/10
Are you really expected to care about these people?

Warning: Spoilers
A rather talkie, stagy and dull character comedy/drama, this deals with the boring problems of a married couple (Brooke Adams and Griffin Dunne) who are dealing with his infidelity and her recovery from being hit by a car. He's a rather uninteresting working man, indecisive and neurotic, and not really someone easy to root for. She's pretty bland too, and it was her own stupidity that got her hit by a car.

More interesting are the supporting characters including Dunne's boss Joe Silver and coworker Miguel Pinero. Josh Mostel and Christa Estabrook add spicy Big Apple style gusto at a dinner party that Adams and Dunne throws. Karen Young has the unfortunate part of the home attending nurse taking care of Adams who allows herself to fall into bed with Dunne. It's a Woody Allen type film ripoff where the script doesn't hit the marks and Allen in a dream would probably consider a nightmare.
